A Cake Bouquet

Published by Sherry Cheever at 8:45 am under MFT Designs

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend and got to enjoy the fabulous weather. We are readying the house for Mallory’s graduation this coming weekend, and I am supposed to be cleaning windows, etc. today. I really think I’m going to head off to the nursery and try to find my summer pots that I like to sit out along the walk. I don’t feel much like cleaning today and the morning has already passed me by as it is. I got a late start today I’m afraid, and I wanted to stamp a little this morning too!

Since I worked in the garden the last few days making a new path, I am sort of in a flowery mood. Today I chose to make a 3×3 card, mainly because of time constraints but I also had this vision in my head last night when I went to bed. I’m not sure that it turned out exactly as I saw it, but I do like it.

I stamped the cake and stand images from You Take the Cake by My Favorite Things, colored with markers and then mounted on Certainly Celery and Black cardstock. I wanted to imitate the doodles of the cake stand and drew those of the sides. Using the small butterfly from Bundles of Bouquets, also from My Favorite Things, I stamped it in Certainly Celery on Certainly Celery and then embossed with holographic EP.

    Love the card, the green and the black, and the flowers just pop, but then all your cards are an inspiration.

    Very cute! My other hobby is cake decorating - so I’m quite partial to cute cake cards. :-)
