What cheerful colors! AND I love the cake icing. Are there any instructions on this technique? I've got a lot of birthdays coming up next month and this is a really nice card for male or female!

The technique was featured in the January 2010 issue of Stampin' Success.
1. Mix Dazzling Diamonds Stampin� Glitter with your choice of Stampin� Emboss powder. Use a one-to-one ratio, or if you prefer less sparkle, use two parts embossing powder to one part glitter. The best way to mix these is to shake them in a bag. Stirring doesn�t work as well because the glitter is lighter than the embossing powder and will end up on top.
2. Stamp and prepare your project. Then apply Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive to the area you want to frost. Leave some texture as you apply the Tombow so it mimics the look of real frosting. We
spread ours using a circular motion.
3. Sprinkle your secret powdered mixture over the frosted area. 4. Shake off excess powder. 5. Heat set as you would any embossed image. When the frosting starts to bubble, stop and let the bubbles go down. Then heat set again to make sure the adhesive is completely dry.
