TGIFC#142 Sketch Challenge ~ Sweet Soiree

Snow Day!  Well, actually it’s an ICE day.  Either way, it’s a great day to stay indoors and craft.  We have a fantastic sketch this week on the TGIF Challenges blog.

To play along, simply use the sketch below to inspire your card creation and upload it to our blog.  We select a winner each week and it could be you!

I finally decided to break out the Sweet Soiree Suite of products.  The designer series paper is absolutely gorgeous with handpainted florals and silver metallic accents.  I used a few of the papers to build the background of the card, but the real show-stopper is the cake image from the Cake Soiree stamp set.  Multiple die cuts and stamped images were used to create a beautiful cake topper that looks good enough to eat!

 

In this close-up image, you can see the glittery dots and “icing” created with the Shimmery White embossing paste and the Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks.  The raised texture of the dried embossing paste adds an interesting aspect to the card, don’t you think?

You can check out the designers’ inspiration cards HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
