Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 61

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!
