Today Lindy Stamp Gang is hosting a Birthday Blog Hop and celebrating Lindy's Birthday through May 4th. The hop begins at Lindy Stamp Gang's Blog and ends at Jo's Blog. There will be fun birthday presents hidden in the designers blog, therefore be sure to stop by everyone's blog and leave a comment.
I thought it would be fun to create a three tier cake with a mini album. I purchased a set of three boxes at my local Micheals to create my cake. Each box was first painted with Gesso and then painted over with Apple Barrel Antique Parchment acrylic paint. I adhered Prima Nature Garden design paper on top and stenciled each of the lids with Prima's stencils and Modeling Paste. I layered the top/bottom of the boxes with some beautiful Vintage laces and flat back pearls. The large Roses were sprayed with Salt Water Taffy, and the smaller roses with Whale Watch Blue. The leaves I sprayed with Sea Grass Green and the small flowers with Clam Bake Beige. I love the Swallowtail Butterfly brass charms and place one on each of the boxes which I painted Gesso to soften up the charm. I created a handmade flower for the top of the cake and added a Happy Birthday banner. Once all my cakes were completed, I sprayed Scintillating Silver on the entire cake and just love all the shimmer. A cake wouldn't be complete without a mini album inside. I create a fabric lace mini album and place it in the bottom box. I just love all the laces and handmade butterfly I added on the cover of the mini.
