Here is my card for this week's challenge to make an elegant wedding card in cream and gold! Ctorina's DD is getting married, so for EPEC - Make a fancy wedding cake...they will need plenty with 42,000 Teapotters crashing the reception!See the challenge RIGHT HERE I had to get in on this one because of the SONG in the link above - it was mine and my DH's song, and brought tears to my eyes to hear it sung so beautifully!!!
I embossed the vanilla with my CB folder and cut out the center, used the new SB lattice to "emboss'" a gold BG instead of cutting it out. Stamped the cake in versamark and embossed in gold, popped it up over a lace tablecloth, then added the flower, leaves, and bows. The glossy gold is very hard to photograph, but I hope you can see it okay - picks up too many reflections!
Hope we have enough cake for everyone - I see a lot of tea potters have brought cake - we' ll see! LOL - thanks for looking!!

Well, we did have lots of cakes, until about a half dozen teapotters got in a little arquement about whose pinky was raised the highest and now there's not enough cake to eat because its all being worn by teapotters! Snort!
So, yay for you, you brought more cake! Cathleen will appreciate you saving the day for Sara and Dave! Giggle! I love this Sue...wowza...those amazing little flowers and what fun, fun wordy little wedding cake! This is flat gorgeous, the embossing....in gold! Love it!
I am excited about your plans with Eula...all I can say is camera, camera, camera......I need to answer your email but what fun that will be! Whoot!
