It's Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! Today we have a GORGEOUS cake to use as our inspiration. These challenges are so much fun and easy to do! We hope you play along with us this week! Use the colors, the design, the pearls, the purse…whatever you see in the inspiration cake!
I chose to focus on the colors, plus the pearls! I started with a base of Blushing Bride cardstock and layered on the Blushing Bride (In Colors) Patterns Designer Paper. On top of that I cut the Two Tags die from Early Espresso cardstock and placed it down the top center. I added three large adhesive Pearls on the bottom.
I made a Scallop Flower out of Whisper White cardstock and added an Early Espresso Flower Brad to the center with a little Pearl inside of it. I made a large 1 1/4 Early Espresso Striped Ribbon Bow and tied it with Linen Thread to gather in the center. The bow is adhered with Mini Glue Dots and the Scalloped Flower added with two levels of Stampin' Dimensionals over top of the bow.
Finally, I stamped So Many Candles, So Little Cake from Stampin' Up!'s new Bring on the Cake stamp set in Early Espresso on Blushing Bride and punched it with the Wide Oval punch. It is placed over the top of the Tag die cut. We're featuring the Bring on the Cake suite of items this week over on Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition Subscribers Only website! We've seen lots of fun projects this week…it's not too late to join! You'll see all the projects we've already done this week AND see the next four weeks of projects we have planned using the Occasions Mini and SAB brochure!
