Diva Inspiration Challenge #18

I can't believe next week is already Thanksgiving!! I am not yet prepared for Thanksgiving or the Christmas season immediately following, but one way or another everything will get done! In the meantime, pull up a chair and roll up your sleeves - it's time for Diva Inspiration Challenge #18!! This week's picture has come from Martha Stewart again. She has such appealing pictures that are perfect for these inspiration challenges. Today's image is a yummy happy cake dripping with flowers.

For my sample today I chose Summer Sun, and Whisper White. I first stamped a background using the Floral Background Stamp in Summer Sun on Whisper White cardstock. I knew I wanted to use the flowers that are on the cake, so my next step was to punch out a few with the Boho Blossoms Punch. After playing around with it, my eyes were hurting - too much white and yellow! That's when I changed out the base of the card and then added the Basic Black to the card. This did help tame it a little bit better. The flowers were sponged with Summer Sun Ink and glued on the band at the bottom of the card. The flower up by the saying has a little Basic Black sponged around it's edges and then popped up on a dimensional.
