Cake birthday card

I made this card for my SILs birthday next month, I won a Basic Grey paper pack from the Cricut 360 challenge blog awhile back and was dying to use it!  I found this sketch in my saved sketches - I really like it and think I'll be using it a lot more!

I love this print paper and wanted it to be the main part of the card and with all the paper being from the same stack, it all coordinated perfectly!  I used a black card base from DCWV, black hemp from CTMH, birthday cake stamp from CTMH, the scalloped strips and scalloped circle were both cut from CTMH Art Philosophy.  I inked the edges of everything with Tim Holtz 'Pumice Stone' distress ink.

I put a strip of the same patterned paper on the inside and stamped it with 2 sentiment stamps - the one on left is from SU and the one on the right is from Pink By Design.
