Blow out the candles for Country View challenges

 Hi friends, I am back with my 2nd design team make for our January challenge over at Country View. The theme is "Your year to sparkle and shine". So we would like to see lots of bling, sparkle media etc. You can enter a maximum of  5 times and into a maximum of 10 challenges including ours. 

As always there is a fab £20 voucher up for grabs for one lucky randomly selected winner to spend on the website.  You can find all the details of the challenge and more examples made by my talented teamies here.

For this make I decided to make a sparkly birthday cake using the awesome Visible Image Blow out the candles stamp set. I appreciate that this set and lots of other are currently out of stock over on the website. Susan will be restocking very soon and if you add your email address she will contact you when they are back in stock. 

This set is just perfect for making quick birthday cards. This is the card for my husband's birthday yesterday as he loves chocolate cake so this is what I baked  made. This is what I got up to;

I used one of my distress ink shaving foam marbled background from my stash and dripped on some snow flurries distress mica stain. I love the sparkle you get with these inks.

I then stamped the large cake onto brown, blue inky mop up and white card and cut the parts out to assemble 1 cake. It's really useful doing it this way as you have 3 cakes to make up. Great instant spares for a quick birthday card.

I stamped the sentiments in place and stamped the candles in place. There is a lovely "glow" stamp in this set which gives a gorgeous outline to the candles. I added a little glitter pen to them and then it was time to assemble my cake

Here is it is;
