We were to pick a cake that inspired us and make a card. So I picked about four, one had butterflies with flowers, another inspired me to use the grid and scallops, another the dots but the most inspiration came from this cake, I really liked the color and the circles. I just checked and the link won't take you directly to the cake that inspired my colors and circles; it's in the fourth row, third from the left.
What a great site for inspiration!
Thanks for the challenge Stephanie!
-The circles are a ½” Marvy punch and Cuttlebug die cuts for the other two sizes. For the white I did add Art Glitter adhesive and Dazzling Diamonds.
-Both border punches are from Martha Stewart.
-The butterflies and heat embossed velum using Bridal embossing powder from PSX which is no longer in business.
-Machine stitching was done on the white panel.
-Tacky glue and Diamond Glaze was used for the attaching the circles.
-The glittered turquoise circles are an old greeting card.
-The pinkish layer is a little darker in real life and the two strips along the edge of the Cool Caribbean are 1/8” wide and glued to the card to avoid an extra layer.
