I'm playing along in another fun, progressive challenge, this time at Dragon's Lair. I guess if you can have Snakes on a Plane, I suppose they must have birthdays to celebrate, too. But how would they blow out the candles on their cakes?
I used Koh-I-Noor pencils to color the image and discovered that they are significantly different from the ones I have been using so I'll have to practice more before I feel really comfortable with them but I do like the 'creaminess' of them. It might also help if I wasn't using them on watercolor paper.
The green stripes at the bottom were cut from scraps and the image just fit a plain square die from Spellbinders so I cut it with that die. The ribbon is sparkly and was in my stash. I punched the three flowers out of sparkle CS, put pearls in the centers, and then found the three golden pearls for the upper corner. The silly sentiment about "Hiss Out the Candles" is my own, of course.

Yes, you can have snakes eat a cake - why not? Lovely coloring & I adore the sparkly embellishments. Hugs, Christi
Being from the South, I am not a fan of snakes. But you've managed to make this one cute with his birthday cake. Some little boy will love this, Connie! Thanks for sharing with Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug this week.
