Girlfriends - Giant Cake Birthday

Hello everyone, I am back with another bi-weekly challenge from Art Impressions.  This is for their Pop It Up! Challenge.  

With Pop It Up in mind, I decided to make an easel card that would fit in a 5x7 envelope with a lot of dimensional elements to it.  The stamp set I chose were Girlfriends stamp 4382 - Giant Cake Set for the main event, 5722 - Birthday Journal Set, 5793 - Mini Journal Birthday Set and 5455 - Birthday Buggy Set for the embellishment pieces.  

This is the card popped up.  I used double layer mounting foam on the sentiment for a solid base to support the card.  

This is the top of the card, how it looks when you take it out of the envelope. 

I added a layer of shimmer on the layer behind the image.  I used Celebration Layering Stencil from La-La Land Crafts and Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone, shimmer is always a must!  I also used the glimmer paste as accents on the candles, confetti, and packages to give it a little dimensional sparkle.  I also used my Karin DecoGel MilkyWay pen in white, I really love this pen.
