That was an enormously fun sketch to work with .
I had to flip mine because of the direction Rocco was running in.
A2 base, all papers Basic Grey Sugar Rush. I embossed the striped panel with the Allegro ef and sponged with black ink.
Rocco was stamped on white card, then I masked the cake stand from Just Celebrate and stamped the plate and cake. Added a Hero Arts sentiment and cut the panel out. Coloured with H2Os. I used Liquid Pearls for the candles. There are silver dots on the cake plate, but in the photo they don't show because of the Glossy Accents. I used the same silver pen to go around the edge of the image/sentiment panel, and a black pen for stitching lines on the base layer. All my January birthday club cards are addressed and ready to go, but I have several family birthdays so Rocco won't be here for long.

Sabrina, I love the effect you got by embossing the beautifully striped paper! Rocco is so cute, holding a cake! The faux stitching really finishes this off nicely!
