CHALLENGE #22

Inspirational photo

I have a photo here for you...if you can believe this, it's a cake!!! It's a wonderful beautiful cake! Use this cake in any way you want to find some inspiration for your project! The DT girls went above and beyond with this challenge and have some fantastic work for you to see!

Isn't it beautiful? And man does it look yummy. And I know not everyone enjoys fondant but I love it! Yummmmmmyyyyy!

Sandy:

Sandy used stacked presents

REALLY???!!! This looks just like that cake...how amazing is her work. The circles are spot on and the colors...yummy! Don't you just love those cards that make you smile? This one does that for me!

Ali:

used the ever so cute penguin baking image for her card. I love the scallops around the edge and those gold corners. I just love gold and lots of sparkle!!

Elizabeth:

Woohooo....look at that DP...yummy! Just like the cake ;-) Elizabeth used snowfriends for her image and colored it ever so sweetly. Again using the colors from the cake for her inspiration and it's just toooo darn cute!

Melissa:

Okay...I don't know how she does this...she used birthday hot air balloon and that's it! That's all she needed to make this card a fabulous card! I can not do that. I have this horrible fear of a white piece of cardstock but this is just fabulous. I mean really....she was like (now I'm just guessing here) "stamp, colored, DONE~Perfect" I'm just sayin' I couldn't do this and make it look good!!!

Julia:

is using the ever so lovely twirling fairy and I really really love those stripes behind the image and that tag with the ribbon at the bottom is really cute! And of course every card needs a little bling added to it!!

Miranda:

used candyland winter background AND candyland winter land (the girl) and has...as usual...made my jaw hit the floor. Look at that stunning coloring. Do you know that Miranda only uses pencils? Amazing right?! And how perfect are these images for the inspiration? I don't know...I can't even talk about it because I can't get my jaw off the floor...LOL!!! God bless you Miranda and your God given talent to bring smiles to peoples faces and joy to their day!

Audrey:

used cupcake for her card and played off the colors from the inspiration and did so very well! These shapes behind the image are really great and I just love that DP! That cupcake looks as yummy as the cake!!

Welp...that's it from me folks. I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as the DT did and have a WONDERFUL holiday...whatever it is that you celebrate enjoy it to the fullest and spend some time with your family and loved ones!
