Happy Thursday! Today Julia’s challenge at SCS is to use pearls…Mother of Pearl technique, Perfect Pearls, liquid pearls, faux pearls, etc. Since I had just purchased these little faux pearls from Michaels, and since I’d already stamped the cake and adhered the little babies in the circles, I thought I’d use that! 🙂 (Gotta love those head starts!)
So Happy For You
My next problem though…what to do with the cake. Some days I feel so creative, others…nada. It comes and goes in spurts. I get lots of ideas of what to do with stamped images, but when it comes to layouts, and sometimes even colors, I just draw a blank.
I have a list of stampers (in my head) whose work I truly admire and when I’m getting no clue as to what to do, I check out their galleries or blogs for a little inspiration…or a lot of inspiration which was the case here. This layout was heavily inspired by Cindy Haffner, a very talented lady who pops out awesome cards one after the other. I don’t know how she does it.
I tried to fit a sentiment on the front but it just didn’t work out so it’s on the inside. I’ve always thought cards looked kind of naked without a sentiment but I’m noticing more and more sentiments saved for the inside. I’m beginning to really like that. What do you think? Do cards look naked without a sentiment?
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
