Impression Obsession DT Challenge: You Take the Cake

The Impression Obsession team's challenge today is to create a project that features cake or another dessert.

This is a card I made when I was playing with the new inks last week - I wanted to try using one of the pale inks for a no-line effect. I stamped the image with the Periwinkle ink, giving it several impressions with my MISTI for full coverage.

I colored it in with Copics, and added a few extra shadows with Polychromos pencils. This actually is a sneak peek of a stamp set by Alesa Baker that will be released very soon - it's a lot of fun! Lots of mix and match pieces to build your own cakes, with sentiments for different occasions. I actually stamped the cake twice here to fill the card.

Here's a closer look at the colored area - and again, these hybrid inks are very Copic friendly - no bleeding at all! (Click HERE for my review if you missed it last week.)

Stamps I used: WP758 Sweet Celebration clear set, Happy Birthday
