I saw an Easter cake in a magazine recently and it was the inspiration for this fancy pink cake decorated with flowers and leafy branches. The background was inspired by a checkered spring table cloth that I have and is done with a fun resist technique and multiple layers of embossing ink.

Start by die cutting the Simon Says Stamp Fancy Cake from Ranger white heavystock paper. I later die cut the base from glimmer cardstock instead.

Stamp the Simon Says Stamp Solid Grid background with Pearfection ink. Cover with clear embossing powder and emboss.

Ink with Worn Lipstick and a little Vintage Photo, coat with clear embossing powder. Always be very careful when using a heat tool and never touch the melted powder until it has cooled down completely. Add more layers until you are happy with the look. Sprinkle a little white powder into the final layer.

The embossing powder creates a thick glossy surface, which is cool to the touch.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Fine Textured Leaf and inked with green shades of Distress Ink.

Add a few sequins too, for some bling. The cake stand is die cut from glimmery paper and also shimmers.

The design of the Fancy Cake die is so clever since it creates instant dimension. For another example, check out my Birthday Cake Card Tutorial.

I used mummy cloth, a vintage piece of trim and a new piece of lace trim as a base/table cloth for the cake. You can stamp the background again, to cover everything, but I liked the darker border at the bottom, where the stamp didn't reach.

Here you can see the dimension of the flowers better.
