SCSCCDT, CC652, Anything but a Card, triangle Box, No Cake
I can't believe its the second week of September and being a guest designer for the color challenge. I feel blessed and excited all at the same.
Barbara gave us a fun challenge and great colors and stated it didn't have to be a card. That's right up my ally.
The colors this week are Berry Burst, Pink Pirouette, Lost Lagoon. They are beautiful colors but I didn't have any of them so I got as close as I could. I'm Realizing I'm not a purplish kind of girl, so with that being stated, I used different tones of pink and aqua, hopefully it will be close to the colors.
I was so happy with how this turned out but my DH looked at it as said, "what's that?" "I said , "seriously after all this hard work, you don't see a slice of cake?" He said, "No!, it's not the right angle." I said, " use your imagination." So hopefully you ladies and gentlemen will see a slice of white cake with pink filling.
Description
The box is a long triangle box by sizzix.
Cut in white card stock and I added pink flower soft and white puffy paint in swirls.
I made rolled roses that were cut in pinks and aqua with small dies by Impressions obsession (IO). I just love the small flower dies that IO makes. I then added some white ink, glue and fine glitter with a sponge to tone down the color and add sparkle. You know I'm a shabby Chic kind of gal.
Once dried the flowers were placed on a piece of hand dyed cheesecloth that I pulled apart and made some tiny holes and hanging strands to add some texture. I strung some pearls on bead elastic and left them flowing over the edge and put a stick pin together and placed it in the corner. That's my icing on the cake.
It was then placed on a Cherry Lynn Doily die that I cut in white, to look like a saucer.
The finished box is approximately 2 by 6 inches.
I have wanted a space in my craft room to make a board to display all my die cuts and give them a number for easily locating them. Thanks Barbara for the direction to achieve a long time dream. I now have the first one.
Hopefully, you'll like this as much as I do, see a slice of cake and will take a minute to leave a comment. I love reading what you talented ladies and a few gentlemen have to say...
...until next week.
See ya in the gallery,
Tonda

OMWord, I thought you just put decorations on a real piece of cake at first!! This is such a wow project! LOVE the texture! Love the Flower Soft center and yes, I see cake or a special cheesecake at the least! (I love cheesecake, it is my favorite!).
What an excellent job with your rolled roses too! Beautiful Tonda!

I'm not surprised you came up with this fantastic creation. This is one lavish piece of cake made from paper. Love it all, but the frosting you created with the puffy paint blew me away. This could be used as a sample in a gourmet bakery. TFS

My DH looked at your photo and said, paper flowers on top of a piece of cake? I told him the entire box was paper, and he said NO WAY. So take that to your DH! Fabulous!!!!!
