Happy Birthday - Cake Challenge

I spent a lot of time creating this card - maybe I was being picky, maybe I lost my mojo today - I just don't know.  However, I do know it turned out better than I thought it would.   I wanted muted colors and ran across this cut on the Over the Hill cartridge and loved it. Paper from DCWV and added rhinestones for bling.  I also popped the cake off the card and then added a double scallop oval for the background.  The paper background is a page from a replica old Sears catalog, which is naturally aged. Our challenge this week at BBTB2, hosted by Diana is to use a birthday cake Cricut cut.   So glad I didn't wait until the last minute to get this card ready.     Join us in the challenge this week at BBTB2.
