I love these three colours together and felt the Cloud Cover looked almost silver when stamped with the other colours. I chose the Cake Celebrations Bundle to work with these colours. I have not had many opportunities to get this fun bundle out and create yet. It is on the last chance list in the online store at the time of blogging this post at the end of July 25.

The card base and matt layer are Highland Heather. I ran the matt layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I cut an arch in Basic White card stock and adhered this to the centre of my card using Dimensionals. 

I stamped the plate in Cloud Cover ink on Basic White card stock and die cut using the coordinating die. I used a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to lightly colour a small piece of Basic White card stock and die cut the two cake layers. The cake filling, icing and banner were die cut from a Piece of Basic White card stock. I glued all these pieces together before adhering to the cake plate and using Dimensionals to adhere it to the Arched piece of card stock. 

I used a Blending Brush and Highland Heather ink to lightly colour a small piece of Basic White card stock and die cut the three flowers. I stamped the flower centres with the small stars and then used a dauber and some more Highland Heather ink to darken the flower centres to make them look like pansies. Then adhered them using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Highland heather ink on Basic White card stock and cut it closely to the letters before adhering it to the centre of the cake using Dimensionals.

I cut a length of the White ribbon in half and tied a double bow before adhering to the card front using GlueDots™ to complete my card.
