Let them eat cake!

As a French major, and French history buff, let me just say that Marie Antoinette got a bad rap!  She was no were anywhere prepared to be Queen of France than say, me!  But, had she really said “Let them eat cake!”, I’m absolutely certain it couldn’t have looked any prettier than this one. 

Remember on Monday, I featured that card from the Cake Soiree bundle?   This card uses the same bundle, and even the same technique of embossing and vellum and coloring on the reverse side.  This time, however, I used shades of purple and pink, a long with a fun bit of Lemon Lime Twist.  

Which do you like better?  Peekaboo Peach or Wisteria Wonder?

1. Stamp cake image in Versamark onto Vellum.  Sprinkle with White Embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.  Cut out with Cake Die.  Using a Blender Pen and ink pads in Wiseteria Wonder, Berry Burst, and Lemon Lime Twist, color the images on the reverse side (or un-embossed side) of the vellum.   Cut out another Cake in White Card Stock and mount the two cakes together using glue dots.
2. Cut out flowers and leaves from vellum, and the cake stand and plate in Silver foil. 
3.  Stamp Sentiment onto Layer 2 in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
4. Adhere Layers 1 & 2.  Wrap with Whisper White Organza Ribbon and tie a bow on the very right hand side.
