Life's Sweet

This is a little departure from my recent Halloween creations. However, I thought it was nice to do something cuter rather than creepy or spooky. The card is 4 1/4"x5 1/2." I used a pre-made card by DCWV. I then trimmed a piece of polka-dotted cardstock 1/4" smaller and tied a sheer pink ribbon around it. The cake was cut at 3 1/2" from the Sweet Shop cartridge. I embossed the bottom layer with the Swiss Dots folder so the strawberry would have some texture. I also embossed the frosting layer with the D'vine Swirls folder. After embossing it, I covered the swirls with cotton candy Stickles. I stamped the sentiment on some pink cardstock, then matted it with some darker pink cardstock and adhered it to the card with pop-dots. I then added three pink pearls to the sentiment.


I made this card for the following challenges:

  2. Oh Yum. There's not much I don't like about something so pink and sweet! :) I love how shimmery everything is - you've given the card such a whimsical look, which just goes so perfectly with your sentiment. The whole thing is simply gorgeous.
    So glad you played along with us at CWC this week. :)
