I was inspired by the elegant buttercream cake with clusters of sugar stephanotis, orchids, and orchid buds.
I used a Marvy “Pansy” punch to make the orchid. Had to reshape some with scissors. The center of the orchid is the “tulip top” die by memory box. The buds were cut using a QuicKutz “Vine” die, and the little flowers is an EK success daisy punch. The flowers were stirred and cupped using different styluses.
This is a delicious site Stephanie! It made me very hungry for sugar.
Thank you for finding it, and thank you all for looking!

Awesome card! I knew exactly which cake you used for your inspiration because this reminds me very much of it -- with the cream-on-cream and the beautiful flowers.
