WMS August Blog Party

Hi all!  Today I have a special project that I made for the Walzingmouse Stamps Blog Party:

WMSWaltz1a

I altered a step card so that the center section would be a platform for a little tealight cake!  One great thing about this card is that it can fold relatively flat for storage (after taking the cake out, of course!).  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Frame-It set and the flowers are Prima with some glitter and half pearls in the centers.

Each high step has a hole punched in with a bamboo skewer topped with a large pinwheel from the Playful Pinwheels set:

I added some Stickles to each pinwheel and  yes, they both spin! 

Then in the middle is a banner made with the Bitty Banners set and an alphabet from Close to My Heart:WMSWaltz1c

I cut the scalloped circle top for the tealight cake with my Zing using Make-The-Cut and a file I created myself.  The bottom of the cake is just covered with a plain strip of patterned paper.  Finally I added some Stickles and teeny half pearls to the top.  I hope you like it and have fun on the rest of the hop!  TFL!
