Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. This week we have some delicious looking mini cakes!
TWO-TONE FLORA
I struggled getting just the right shades of pinks for this card…the retired Polished Pink would have been perfect for the brightest pink! Oh well, I think it turned out fine with the colors I used!
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Flirty Flamingo cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was blended with Sweet Sorbet Ink across the bottom, Flirty Flamingo Ink across the center and Petal Pink across the top using a Blending Brush.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Vellum Cardstock was cut with the Two-Tone Floral background Die and added over the colored Basic White layer, then added to the front.
- The larger flower from Two-Tone Flora was stamped with Flirty Flamingo Ink solid and Sweet Sorbet Ink detail on Basic White cardstock. The smaller flower with Petal Pink Ink solid and Flirty Flamingo Ink detail. The branch leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam Ink. All were cut with the Two-Tone Flora dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A large bow of silver Simply Elegant Trim was added under the blossoms.
- Happy Birthday from Very Best Occasions stamp set was stamped with Sweet Sorbet Ink on Basic White and hand-cut around the letters, then added under the blossoms with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The vellum just softens those colors so well! I need to use it more often! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
