What’s a birthday party without CAKE?! Today’s cake recipe is as follows:

MULTI LAYER CAKE - Include layers of some kind
ICING - Break out those mixed media products and add some texture/dimension (ink is fine too)
SPRINKLES - Don’t forget the finishing touches - add some bling, enamel dots, mini puffys, etc!

Here’s my sample layout! I used Day 9 sketch from the current round of 30 Days of Sketches with Christy’s Beautiful Life

I love it! Did you stamp the background?

It’s a stencil! “Dreamy Day Diagonal” in one of the newer Echo Park lines - I used Lunar Paste with it! It’s such a good background stencil, gonna be a go to for sure! (I love the ones that repeat with the 6” square, way easier to line up across the page!!!)
