Sweet Treats Cake & Flower Card

I love Blog surfing, as well as surfing YouTube to find inspiration for my paper creations. In my travels on YouTube, I came across LiveLoveandSCRAP.... Well, let me tell you, she has some wonderful videos, and an awesome Blog too. Live Love and SCRAP! Pleas go check out her blog... I definitely see myself making SEVERAL variations of this card... all cuts are from Sweet Treats... the icing across the top of the cake layers was done by cutting the trim for the cake plate 3 times, and trimming it down to fit. This card was also my first try at using my white gel pens to accent my cuts, and using glossy accents t make the centers of the flowers "pop". I really tried to tie a gorgeous bow on the cake... yeah that just didn't work out this time. My white paper layer was done with some silver embossing powder and my white pigment ink. I just didn't have any pretty white designer paper.

Heat Ebossing

I finally tried Heat Embossing.... it was actually Very Simple...Except i burnt my finger, a piece of scrap paper, and well that table cloth is plastic coated, i sort of shrunk it in places... but it was worth the outcome!

This is the paper before I did anything with it!

I used a simple little snowflake stamp, and clear embosing ink.. along with a sparkly white embossing powder. This is the after picture!

And finally this picture shows the papers side by side. I like the way it turned ou!

This is the project I used it for... just some Deco Squares for a swap!
