Broadsheet Alpha BIG THANK YOU

Hello there hope you’re doing well. My kitchen has been transformed into a cake making factory and I am having a ball making a wedding cake for a family wedding we have to attend this weekend. The luscious lemon layer and the fruit cake are both iced and ready for the decoration and  the chocolate truffle layer needs a bit more cooling time and then is ready to be filled and iced. I am doing all the piping tomorrow and I am excited. It is a very elegant cake they have chosen, an identical copy of one designed by the talented Mitch Turner from Little Venice Cake Company.

This is the tall order I have on my hands!! I have to try and  recreate this beauty. I love it!! very elegant and delicate, the bride choose pink hydrangeas instead for the top and hopefully I will have a photo or two to show you once I finished it. Wish me luck for tomorrow piping by hand all that intricate design eeks!!
Today I am sharing a BIG THANK YOU card that I made for all my old colleagues I have worked with. They gave me such wonderful gifts on my last day and I was very sad to leave them especially when reading all their sweet messages in my hand made card made by the lovely Ali. I miss them already !!!

It’s bright and bold and it uses my favourite Alphabet set from Stampin’Up! the versatile Broadsheet. this card came together quickly but it evolved from what i had in my head when I first set to work on it. I was clear on the bold and colourful message but not on the rest and the layered ruffles come later as a result of me wanting to incorporate all the colours used in my message. I love the layered scalloped edges. And you can see a close up of the message

I stamped it freehand and is not perfect but I didn’t wasn’t after the perfect look, I wanted it to be a bit fluid.
