Girly Birthday

I love My Favorite Things' Who's That Girl series. I especially love it when she wears fabulous skirts and dresses because then I get to paper piece them with awesome and pretty DP!

This is Who's That Birthday Girl and coincidentally enough, I got this stamp set for my birthday from Awesome J. The DP is DCWV Linen Closet...I think it's a few months old actually, but I just got it (b/c Joann's finally had the 4x6 size back in stock and it was 40% off! Wahoogle!). I knew that this DP was perfect for Birthday Girl b/c it was girly and pretty, and you can only have that kind of DP for her flowy skirt.

I paper-pieced the cake and added decorative lines of pearls at the base of each cake tier. I almost placed the bow where the strip of ribbon is, but it blocked too much of her pretty skirt, so I moved it to the top of the card. But then the ribbon strip looked too bare, so then I added a line of pearls on top. Sooooo pretty, don't you think? The scallops were accomplished using MFT's Scalloped Scallop border die (also from Awesome J). I lightly sponged the circle holding the sentiment just to give it some contrast.
