CTMH It's Your Day to Sparkle SOTM Blog Hop - June 2019

Welcome to the June 2019 SOTM Blog Hop featuring the stamp set It's Your Day to Sparkle. This month there are almost 20 Consultants sharing projects they created with It's Your Day to Sparkle. Our blog hop is circular so visiting the next blog will take you back to where you started.

You should have arrived here from ***Melissa Robinson's My Heartfelt Sentiments***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.

From the moment I saw the cake I knew I wanted to do something special with it and the flowers decorating it. I even thought about stamping and fussy cutting some of the smaller flowers, but I decided to use the small stamp to create my background.

I had a happy accident while creating my card. I hope you think of it as a happy accident too. Since I was fussy cutting the cake, I did not ink all of the stamp. I stamped the cake first in Sugarplum since I was still deciding between clear and white embossing. When I lifted my stamp from the paper, it shifted a bit so when I stamped with VersaMark it ended up being slightly above the Sugarplum. Personally I like it and think it creates a nice shadow. It is too bad that when I try to do this technique "on purpose", it will probably be a little more difficult.

I used banners and a PML-like image from the cut apart sheet for my sentiments.
