I silver embossed the cake plate and then double stamped the solid cake layers in Altenew Pale Mauve. The dots were stamped in Amethyst and the center of the candles in Grape Agate. The flames were stamped in Amethyst and the glow in Delicata Silvery Shimmer. I inked the card front edges in Grape Agate to show through the hearts. The sentiment from PTI Scripted was stamped in Grape Agate and I silver embossed the edges. I'm also entering DCD and SSS Wednesday. 
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
The challenge at JUGS is Spotlight Technique. That is basically what I did for the first card in my last post, so I wanted to do something different. IO roses background stamp is a favorite I haven't used in ages. I black heat embossed a panel of Bristol cardstock so I could use another neglected product--Zig Watercolor brush markers. 
After diecutting the small label, I colored it with Light Carmine and Pink Flamingo, using the Zig blender brush and no water. Then I spritzed with shimmer, added a cardstock layer for dimension and glued it into place. SSS Painted Hugs and the mat were cut from glossy black cardstock. Finished off with a tiny black wooden heart and 3 clear sequins. I'm also entering WAW.
Edited to add: I am not a "radical left lunatic" but I'm absolutely repulsed by Trump's blasphemy, as well as his speech and actions. Not all Christians support this administration.
The Birthday cake has a really modern feel and great spotlight creation.
