I began with piece of smooth white card stock to make an A2 card base. I then trimmed down a panel also from white card stock. I chose my favorite distress oxide inks to create this ink blended background. then cut another panel from white card stock. I used embossing ink to stamp the Make a Wish sentiment at the bottom of the panel and heat embossed it using gold embossing powder. I then ink blended another piece of white card stock using the sames distress oxide inks and then die cut the cake from it. I used some small flower dies to decorate the cake. I then die cut the streamers and the flames for the candles from gold card stock.
