Be Inspired Challenge #18

Beate's inspiration challenge time again! Yay!!! This time it's such a gorgeous, mouth watering cake with wonderful colours!

Well, the challenge was to get inspiration from the image and use the pattern or the colours. I did both! lol

No, I don't have loads of time but I just had this image in my mind when I saw this cake. The pictures haven't turned out that good. The design looks so much better when you hold it in your hand. My dad thought it was great.



I happen to have just the right colour of card stock. Don't you guys think its almost like the colour of the flowers?!

Oh please do view full! The pic is seriously not doing justice to this card! Even I liked this card of mine! lol








Oh these flowers are the cutest thing! But they were very hard to handle! These are hand drawn and hand cut. I used the same technique as in the last post. Here are some more pics, just shots from different angles.






The swirls are also hand drawn and I have embossed them with embossing paste. Its quite hard to make these. Then I sprinkled glitter on the wet paste to get the sparkle I wanted.

    Lovely work! It does look like hard work went into it.

    When I saw VIBGYOR, I knew you had to be from somewhere in the east. They do it opposite here. ROY G BIV. Doesn't make sense to me.
