Birthday Cake and Birthday Pup!

Hello!
I have TWO cards to share with you today! 
My first card uses Whimsy Stamp's Birthday Wish Layering Stencil. After I inked up the image twice, I fussy cut, the cake only part, on the second one and popped it up on the plate with dimensional foam tape. I added clear embossing paste to the chocolate areas only, for a bit of glossy dimension.  I added a teeny posy from my stash.  I used the Mix and Match Scallop Rectangles and the Starlit Gala 6 x 6 paper to create the background. I couldn't resist using some clear glass glitter around the outer frame. 
My second card uses this adorable pup from the Doggone Birthdays set. He was colored with Copics.  I added a bit more depth and detail using a black colored pencil.  He was cut out using the pierced and stitched circle dies. I stamped the sentiment on a curve using my Misti. I again used the Starlit Gala paper for the background.  I tied a bit of rustic twine, added glossy accents to his balloon with a sprinkling of gold glitter.  A few star sequins and the card was done. :)

Thank you as always, for stopping by today! :)
