Eat the cake!

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday and our theme this time is...

SOMETHING SWEET

This time we have a $20 voucher up for grabs from our lovely sponsor;


I seem to have been making a lot of cupcakes and cookies recently so for the sake of my waistline perhaps I should stick to the virtual variety for a while!
This is a card I made for a lovely blog friend so the CAS style and stamp were selected to suit her and the fun sentiment was generated on my computer.


I decided to be a bit more adventurous with the skirt and added a whole bunch of folds to it... I *think* I like it!
I also have a terrible habit of dropping spots of Copic ink on the image I'm colouring, especially if there is a lovely big area of white.  So, yes, that happened on this card but all was not lost because I had already decided to add little pearl dots around the image so could cover it up.... well, almost...you can just about see which dot it is under if you look *really* hard as it is a very slightly different colour!

  3. What dot? I can't see it,but I have been known to do exactly the same thing with the pearl dots to hide little mistakes. They're so great for that. I really love this card, and your great folds. In fact I love it so much that I might have to hint that my b'day is coming up (well, in a few months, but that's not the point!) LOL She's fab Kat. And the sentiment is so true! :0)
