For this card, I started with a large gray card and trimmed and adhered on a blue silver foil background. I trimmed a little piece of cake with a round Nestibilities and watercoloured it to coordinate. I decided to use a large label (TH) die cut in blue. The blue was a bit off so I embellished it with water colour to bring it along to the right tone. I embossed it with the D'vine Swirl embossing folder (CB), punched the two ends with a slot (SU) and then trimmed a gray strip to be inserted into the slots and cover the length of the card. Once I auditioned it was too bright so I stamped a texture stamp in light gray ink to tone it down. Gave it some nice texture as well - bonus!! I inserted the strip and trimmed it to the right length, slid the label to where I wanted it and added two cherry red eyelets to keep it in place. I die cut a silver oval to go between my label and my little piece of cake. Glued it in place and then distressed the edge of my image before I glued it over the oval. Therese
