DT Unik Hobby - Big Comfy Cake

These days, the whole world is in grief over the terrible attacks that have occurred here in Norway.  How could this happen in our peaceful little country? Everything feels completely pointless ... My thoughts go to all who have lost their loved ones in this terrible tragedy... ♥

oooOooo

My DT challenge for Unik Hobby last month, was to make something with this cute stamp from Whimsy Stamps. I made this Explosion Box, with a little box inside that looks like a cake. The cake is decorated with a cake light and pearls... I made the cake using dies from Spellbinders.

Size: 4 x 4 inches

I want, as many times before, recommend the use of Scor-Pal when you make different kind of  boxes. This tool is in my opinion indispensable... No doubt!!  :)

I've colored the image with my Prismacolors. To make the "cream" on the cake, I've used Liquid Pearls. ;)

Inside the box, I've used texts from Norsk Stempelblad. I've also made a little pocket with a tag, for a personal greeting to the birthday child.

I've used this punch from Martha Stewart that keeps the monetary gift in place. ;)

Inside the cake there is some candy...

Materials:
Stamps: Whimsy Stamps - Big Comfy Cake, Norsk Stempelblad - 30 B.
Patterned paper: I love SCRAP - Amber 02/03.
Coloring: Prismacolor Premier, Letraset paper.

Dies: Spellbinders Nesting Squares Classic LG, Spellbinders Nesting Fleur De Lis Squares, Spellbinders – Nesting Circle Standard LG, Spellbinders Nesting Lacey Circles.

Embellishments: Lace, ribbon, pearls, flowers and charms.
