I was totally inspired by the fabulous cake that Tracey Mason made as a wedding gift. You can see it here. I immediately wanted to bury myself in my craft room and make my own. But I don't know anyone getting married, so I made a birthday cake.

Mom's Birthday Cake
Two posts in one day...I know, I know, but I thought I should continue on with the birthday theme and show you the gift for my mom that I referred to the other day.
I was totally inspired by the fabulous cake that Tracey Mason made as a wedding gift. You can see it here. I immediately wanted to bury myself in my craft room and make my own. But I don't know anyone getting married, so I made a birthday cake.
I covered paper mache boxes with Close To My Heart's White Daisy cardstock. The upper layer I also embossed with my Cuttlebug before attaching it. I attached the boxes with my hot glue gun and then used CTMH's glitz glitter glue to hide the glue and the spaces in between the paper layers.
The flowers are spiral roses. You can find different tutorials on this technique on YouTube. They are super easy. In the middle of each flower, I attached on of CTMH's new pearl opaques. Underneath the middle flower there is a gift certificate to a hair salon for my mom to get some pampering for her special day.
Hope you enjoyed the project as much as I did and that I inspired you to make something special today!
