Diane is our hostess this week and she has chosen such an inspiring color combination. Dessert is your favorite embellishment.
I knew right away that I wanted to try these colors with this birthday cake since the crumb cake would bring a certain realism to the slightly silly birthday cake colors. I use Pool Party Dark and Bermuda Bay Light since there aren't named Coastal Cabana Blends Markers. It looks like they match pretty well with the Coastal Cabana polka dot layer.
I'm not really sure what to say about my favorite embellishment. I like use so many and my favorite is what makes the card look better - even if that means none at all. ("Just because you can doesn't mean you should..."). Othertimes some dots, jewels or ribbon help me bring back some balance when placement of other elements didn't end up quite right. I did try both Crumb Cake ribbon and Linen thread on this, discarding both ideas. So, if I were to name an embellishment here I would say either Dimensionals, which I do use frequently, or dots (?).
Do play along with us - these colors are so fun!!!
