After the excitement of the earthquake yesterday (we live about 75 miles from the epicenter), today was pretty calm:) I had fun with this card inspired by Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #61 from Sarah Martina Parker!
I tried mimic the overall shapes in the sketch with a happy cake shop window scene. I was so happy to finally get to ink up my new Eat Cake set! The beautiful large tiered cake is the centerpiece inside a die cut window. On each side of the window is a topiary stamped with Teeny Trees stamps.
I didn't have a die or stamp for the topiary pots, so I just hand cut them and used my PTI canvas impression plate on them for texture. I accented each flower on the cake with a little liquid pearls. Don't you just love that little cake stand?
I noticed with the colors of this card, it was so hard to get a decent pic! My first pic is more what the card looks like in person. I'm finally over my old point and shoot digital camera. If anyone has a recommendations on DSLRs, I'm all ears!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek! And to all those in the path of Hurricane Irene, stay safe!
