what a delightful choice for FS117, Beth. This was the first time I have had the chance to stroll in Sparkle's gallery. It was fun. I couldn't resist Eiffel Cupcake. I have a friend who loves all things of the tower...
I kept Sparkles general theme and colorway. I changed the stamps, sentiment and the cuttled bugged panel. I used SU French Script instead of DP. In place of the flowers, I chose sheer ribbon at the top. My cupcake and Eiffel are from Oxford Impressions. The cupcake was inked on GP white cs with Nick Bantock Chartreuse Leaf and VersaMark and embossed, with clear on the wrapper and Silver Pearl on the frosting. It was popped on foam mounting squares. The Eiffel was inked with Memento Paris Dusk (hey, hey,hey!) I bugged the black panel with the Paisley folder. Added a bit of white scallop trim on the left side. The cardbase was from My Mind's Eye Kaleidoscope...I used SU's retired French Script inked with Archival jet black. The wish word is a Little Stamper self inker on a Martha tag punch.
I loved your lighthearted gallery,Sparkle! Do enjoy your special day in the spotlight. Thanks for looking!
