My first step was to create the background by die cutting Mushroom cardstock with the Pierced Stars Plate and then trimming it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches. Then I stenciled the panel using the Snowfall Stencil and Paper Glaze Velvet in Winter Snowfall, and before the glaze set, I sprinkled some Distress Rock Candy Glitter over the panel. I finished the panel with two scallop frames die cut from Mushroom cardstock that I stacked and attached with liquid adhesive.
My next step was to die cut all the remaining elements and assemble them. I used Vanilla Malt cardstock for the cake layers and the bow, Cranberry for the berries, Spiced Cider and Cayenne for the orange slice, Artichoke for the greenery, and Matte Gold cardstock for the platter. For the “iced ginger cookies,” I stamped a small snowflake on Wheat cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder before die cutting them with the coordinating die. To add sparkle to the berries, I brushed a small amount of liquid glue on them and dipped them into the Distress Rock Candy Glitter.
My final steps were to attach the die cut elements to my background using liquid adhesive and foam squares, embellish the cake layers with gold pearls, and add a sentiment that I heat embossed with gold embossing powder and die cut with a sentiment strip before attaching it to the cake.
