Wedding Cake

Good morning everyone!  We are starting a new challenge on the Paper Shelter Challenge Blog, and this week our theme is 'Pearls'.  You do not need to use a digi from The Paper Shelter to enter the challenge, but those using an image from The Paper Shelter will be eligible to win a $30 gift certificate.  Any winner not using a Paper Shelter digi will win 3 digis of their choice.  For my DT project, I decided to make a card using  Wedding Cake. A bit of a departure for me, as I am almost always coloring people, but it was so much fun to work with.   You can find this one, along with tons of other amazing images over at PaperShelter.com



The Copics I used are:  cake stand - Y21, Y26 & Y28; cake - RV00, RV02, Y000, Y00, W00, W0 & W1; flowers - RV23, RV25 & RV29; leaves - YG21, YG23 & YG67;  bears - E31, E33, E35, C3 & C5.  I used pearls for decoration on the cake. The image is printed on x-press paper. 



For the card, I used Bazzill cardstock, Echo Park paper, pearls, and Heidi Swapp die (bliss). Would you like to play along with our 'Pearls' challenge?  It's really easy...just head on over to the Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see all of the rules. You can also check out the amazing DT inspiration projects by my fellow DT members.  I do hope you'll join us!  Thank you for taking a look.  Have a fabulous day!  I hope it's a crafty one:)
