<p>I stamped swirls on the inside on the card and heat embossed them in with white EP, the <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/Item/6-758-H43D92Q">cake</a> is a digital stamp that I colored with Bic Mark-its then glazed with Elmer&#8217;s 3-d and glitter paint, the fun part is that the paint is scented so it really smells like a cupcake! Here is what the inside of the card looks like, I rubbed some metallic rub ons over the embossed areas so there is a bit of shimmer there too {it doesn&#8217;t show in the photo too well but trust me it simmers and smells like a cupcake!}</p>
