TRR #47

Hi all, I'm back with the very happy news that I am a part of The RibbonReel family again! I have really missed being a part of this challenge, and this week's beautiful inspiration pic is just the thing to get my poor mojo into gear!

This week, Lenet has chosen this fab pic to inspire us - well I love cake, and I love purple! She asks that we use the colours in the photo and use Ruffles in our creations.


And here's my take:


I began by stamping a doily background using Waltzingmouse Stamps in a variety of purples - Wisteria Wonder from Stampin' Up!, Milled Lavender distress ink and Elderberry from Memento.


I then stamped the fab cake image from Waltzingmouse Stamps in the same inks including Shaded Lilac and Tattered Rose.

I cut the image using a Spellbinders frame, and added some clear gems and a little Purple bakers twine boe from The ribbon Reel.

I then added some Sheer Box Pleat White trim also from The Ribbon Reel to the bottom of the card, and added a sentiment from the WMS set.

I am entering this into this month's Waltzingmouse Blog party, which wants Doilies in our creations.



Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some lovely frilly cake inspired creations!

A royal cake with a regal card to match, Pauline! The nestie frame around it reminds me of a crown! Love the purple doily background, so festive with this card! Gorgeous matting of each layer, too...and I see a peek of matching doilies on the inside! Why do I always neglect my card innards?! :)
