Sweet Cake

This is the Sweet Cake set which I teamed with Sweet Shop specialty DSP paper. There are twelve  12″x 12″ sheets in each pack, 4  double sided designs and 2 each of 2 double sided embossed designs.  For the Sweet Cake image above,  I added dazzling diamonds on the swirled top and stuck to only two colours, Calypso Coral and […]
