This is the result of several errors... The Blue Bayou on all sides of the main image was only supposed to be on the very edges of it, but I hit the side of the pad on the top and then decided to do it all the way around. Also, since I stamped "you take the cake!" crooked, I decided to stamp it multiple times to make it look like it was supposed to be that way. (whoopsie!) Oh well...
I created the background of the main image using the Watercolor Wash (?) technique featured in this week's SCS Inkling.
The ribbon is actually the same color as the Blue Bayou cardstock - my scanner doesn't seem to agree, though. lol
The two darker layers on the cake are actually covered with CE and the Rose Pink Fine Cosmo glitter, although it looks brown in the pic. Also, the balloons have CE and Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
Thanks for looking!

This is very cute! I am so glad to hear other people flub up, and not just me! Some of my best stuff was in spite of myself, because I was trying to fix something!

I cannot believe all those mistakes you said you made, and still came up with one wonderful card. There's no way this sensational card took all kinds of wrong turns. this is just totally fabulous.
