A long time ago I saw a really cool card base created on My Creative Time by Emma Aguilar. Here is her video. Take a look, I got lots of good ideas from it.
I had been dying to make a card base like hers. As you can see, it worked! It was lots of work though because my Gypsy is not cutting right so I had to do extra trimming to fix it.
For the longest time I had wanted to use this WALL-E image, but couldn't think of what to do with him. Well...my stamp set from Pink By Design arrived and on it I saw this sentiment that said "Today, i eat cake" It was perfect!
The idea was that since WALL-E is a robot, he doesn't get to eat anything tasty like this. But today he is getting his chance:) Yay for him! I can almost imagine his little robot voice saying "yum, yum."
I'm entering this card into the Birthday Sundaes challenge #16. Hope you guys like it!
So here is WALL-E enjoying his cake.
I love how it looks like he is thinking the sentiment! Totally not on purpose, but it works!
He longingly looks at his cake here...
I popped him up with pop dots. You can see that a bit better at this angle.
Sorry if I'm rambling...I am a bit sleepy now.

oh my gosh, Maribel, this is absolutely adorable! You did a perfect job. And you are right, his facial expression really does look like he is saying "today I eat cake"! I love his eyes. So cute.
