A pair of Fiskar scissors engraved with Flourishes,LLC
Various Flourishes,llc stamp sets

Now are these great prizes, or what!!! Gosh, wish I was eligible to enter!!! But I made a cake anyway to wish Jan Marie a Happy Birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAN!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!

This card was made with Cake Decorating 101. I paper pieced the cake on Two Scoops paper and the plate and stand on Prism paper. The white base card is Cuttlebug embossed with the new Swiss Dots folder, as is the upper portion of the main image base, which was cut and embossd on a Rectangle Nesabilities Die by Spellbinders. The main image panel is then framed with a Scallop Nestabilites Die. I just added a sentiment panel, some pretty organdy ribbon and I was done!!!! A simple, but pretty, birthday cake!! Oops! Almost forgot — all the swirlies on the cake itself were gone over with a variety of Spica Glitter Pens — it is sooooo pretty IRL!

This card was also made for the Featured Stamper Challenge posted for Sunday, and this week the Feaured Stamper is Mary Jo Albright — love her work. Here is here little ATC. I used her basic layout with a few minor changes. It was the perfect layout for my cake!!! Thanks so much, Mary Jo!!!
