For this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge … the wonderful Kim (jknath) suggested we find inspiration at Ace of Cakes. These creations are almost too pretty to eat … although I've never met a cake I haven't eaten. My card is inspired by this beautiful Birds Cake from Charm City Bakery.
I loved the birds, flowers, and color palette. I started with my favorite Pink Paislee Queen Bee papers and added this week's Limelight Papercrafts Sketch … which also asks you to incorporate scallops into your design.
For my birds, I added this fun branch of songbirds from Artistic Outpost together with a sentiment from the same set. I rubbed on a bit of pearlescent chalk to my birds for a bit of sparkle.
I hope you find inspiration (or at least find a piece of cake) … enjoy the weekend.
Beautiful!
Such a charming card!
