Piece of Cake - Global Design Project Theme Challenge - GDP179

March 4, 2019

Sweets for the sweet. How about a delicious challenge for this weeks Global Design Project? We are playing around with a little sweetness.

What do you have in arsenal of craft products that could fit this theme?

I cracked open the Piece of Cake bundle for my projects today. I ended up making two cards.

Each card uses the cake and pedestal as the primary image layers with lots of additional elements.

You can create visual interest on your cards by layering various items. I’ve use the heart images from the Be Mine dies to create a frame around the cake on this first card. The cake has been colored using Stampin’ Blends and Stampin’ Write markers. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

This second card incorporates layers and textures to add visual interest. This card could work for any LOVE occasion.

Here’s a tip for you: when coloring think about how you can change the look of the original image by coloring outside of the lines or deliberately leaving areas uncolored. On this cake I’ve left the flowers white and added a small pink halos around all of the dots on the cake.

Ready to see more SWEET projects? Check out the Global Design Project blog. Play along with us! Tag your projects #gdp179 so we can be sure to find them on Pinterest and Instagram.

Some folks try to avoid the frustration of tangled Christmas lights… I say bring it! This card is a tangle of stamps. Over 50 little stamp impressions help turn a blank piece of paper into this! A mess. Haha. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #adventlabelstampset
