Cake Inspiration Part III

July 7, 2008 By Connie | 4 Comments

Here is the last Cake Inspiration (so far) that I’ve participated in. There is some debate on whether or not the colors were White, Turquoise and Black or Brown. I went with Brown…just because it seems to be the IN color right now…

I started with a base of Tempting Turquoise and added a layer of Whisper White. Along the top I added strips of random width cardstock in Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip. I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to make the two rows of circles from Seeing Spots uniform and switched the colors between Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip. I placed a strip of satin chocolate ribbon (Theater Ribbon Collection) to hide the seam and topped that with White Taffeta Ribbon. Then I punched 3 small stars from Tempting Turquoise. The Circle frame is from Together Forever, cut out, and I used my partner’s initial C in the center, punched with the 1" circle punch and using Lovely Letters. I made a larger circle by combining two Round Tab punches in Chocolate Chip cardstock.

I like how this turned out and think it is pretty representative of the inspiration cake! What do you think?

I’m working on a couple things for classes coming up. Then I have GOT to start on my swaps! My pretty new things are just SITTING there waiting for me to open them up and play! lol! It is KILLING me!
