Ombre Fancy Cake

Hello friends, it’s Leica here today. I am sharing a birthday card using the Fancy Cake Dies. This new die really is very fancy and can be decorated in many ways. I love the scallop piece and decided to make an ombre cake with it. Let’s get started!

For the background, I cut a white cardstock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and ink through the Medium Polka Dots Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. From top to bottom, I used Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry. 

Next, I worked on the cake, which I cut in white cardstock. I cut it again in gold and used that for the cake stand. I then cut 5 scallop pieces, ink blended them with the same inks used for the background, sprayed some water for an oxidized effect, and then I splattered some white ink. I cut the candles in glitter paper and used Copic markers for the candle. After gluing all the pieces together, I cut 3 more of the cake die and glued them together for dimension. Sometimes, I like doing this method for dimension better than using foam tape. It just looks cleaner and it’s also sturdy. At the end, I placed a sheet of vellum in between the stenciled panel and the cake to soften the background.

Lastly, I stamped the Birthday Sentiment inside the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
