Two posts in one day! I guess I am anticipating a rough week later on!
Last Thursday, the Create with Connie and Mary blog challenge had us look at a pretty funky cake. I focused primarily on the color scheme, but there were some stripes and some curvy swirls also.
I decided my striped river rock pattern paper would work, and I used my extra large decorative label punch 3 times to get some swirls. I stamped the Hostess Level set, Silhouette Sentiments, on whisper white, using my marina mist and river rock markers. I cut the other labels, then attached the pieces along the edge of the white label to get this effect. Satin ribbon always adds a nice touch, and a bit of retired gold cord matches the trim on the cake. My sentiment is punched out with a circle, and the main whisper white panel went through the big shot with the perfect polka dot impressions folder.Funky cake...fun card!!
