Today the Girl Fridays are having a surprise Birthday Blog Hop for our fab DT co-ordinator, Michele Gross..... whoop whoop birthday girl, hope you have a fantastic day :0)
Of course no birthday would be complete without a cake and 'Fluffles' has got that covered..... although he seems to have miscounted the candles by a few !! *wink*
I've had a few comments asking how I made the spotlight so I'll quickly run through the process...
I started with a slightly larger piece of card and stamped a solid oval in Memento Dandelion ink, then used post it notes to mask out a triangular area for the shaft of light which is sponged using Mustard Seed DI .
I stamped 'Fluffles' and the cake in the spotlight and again on another piece of card to colour and cut out later.
I reversed the masking technique to cover the yellow and used Black Soot DI to make the shadows then having attached the coloured images and stamped the sentiment I used a circle cutter to shape the final piece. Hope that all makes sense :0)
