This is such a fun set! I stamped the image in black stazon on glossy paper and watercolored with reinkers and a fine detail brush.
I used Crystal Effects all over the candle flames, te plate, and some of the flowers and then sprinkled dazzling diamonds over it and set it aside to dry. What a sparkly effect that gives this cake - LOVE it!
French Script is stamped in Memories White ink - I love how it's not so 'gunky' (like SU's white craft ink can be at times!).
Using the inspiration of all you lucky ladies who own the cuttlebug embossing plates, I pulled out my fiskars embossing plates. I spritzed the paper on one side and used the tool that came with the embossing plates and rubbed away. It didn't show up the pattern as much as I would have liked, so I pulled out my metallic rub-ons (don't remember the manufactor of these) and buffed white pearl over the swirls. I was so happy how this turned out!
I spritzed the ruby red cardstock and crumpled it up and then DTP'ed it with Memories White ink.
The delicate colors were hard to photograph, but it's real pretty IRL!
Thanks for taking a closer look!
