Hi all - Tara here with my weekly post a day early just to confuse you and today I'm sharing an anniversary card I made for our niece and nephew's wedding anniversary this weekend. I decided to use Fanfare from Avery Elle to make them a cake instead of baking them one ;-)
I stamped the two layers of cake onto some lovely paper from Echo Park (Victorian Garden set) and as all the papers in that pad are double-sided I used the reverse to create the cake ribbons and bows and paper-pieced it all together. To add a little dimension to the ribbons, I used a couple of shades of toner grey copics to knock the "insides" back a little - toner greys are your friends when you don't have the exact shade you need. I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto the larger cake.
For the cake stand I stamped and embossed it in gold on a scrap of card and fussy cut it before sticking it down and outlining it in black to match the cake with a fineliner. I cut it out with a nestie and used the larger die to cut a mat from the same patterned paper I cut the ribbons from.
I finished with a little sheer lemon ribbon and a liquid pearl centre to the bows and it looks good enough to eat ;-)
