Happy new week, everyone!! I'm honored to be guest designing in The Shabby Tea Room this week, with this beautiful photo for inspiration...
The challenge calls for the colors of gray, lilac, peach and pink...and some lace...
Decorating this cake (a Crate Paper sticker) was a treat! I thought of my mom, who was known throughout our county and the surrounding ones for the wedding cakes she baked and decorated. I trimmed off some little bits of lace for it, added some pearls, and just a dab of stamping. The challenge this week also calls for a metal embellishment (or two)...
I utilized some silver bead caps to create the trinket pins, and incorporated the little silver "Love" tag. I also incorporated more lace into my layers of scallops at the bottom (Papertrey's Border Banner die).
The floral paper, one of my favorites, is SU, and the gray gingham/matching ribbon is October Afternoon. The large heart was trimmed from a heart-shaped doily. The little sentiment at the bottom is from Papertrey. And I guess that's it. I must thank Debbie and the rest of the girls in The Shabby Tea Room for allowing me to join them this week...it's always an honor and just a special treat!
Hope you know how much I appreciate your visits, so thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great crafty week!!
