Shake a Wedding Cake?

I actually didn't combine a challenge, but I did make two for the SCS Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC221). We had to think circular and the limitation was to only use one stamp set per card/project. Once again, I was up until the wee hours. When I have an idea in my head I have to start work on it straight away for fear of losing that mojo! This is also for the Caardvarks Shape Up Challenge.

I thought circles in layers would be awesome and a cake was born. No circle containers were used, just paper and two foam square adhesives on each layer to hold them together! There is a strip of cardstock inside the top layer to help anchor the hearts. The hearts were attached with a Flower Soft paper-wrapped wire. I pierced a small hole through the center of the strip of cardstock, stuck the wire through and adhered with adhesive beneath it. Project Recipe:

Stamp: ODBD Love One Another set

Ink: Versafine Onyx, Versamark

Paper: K & Company Classic K Margo pad, Prism Simply Smooth cs, Gina K Luxury white cs

Supplies: Hero Arts pearls, Petaloo Floral Doodles, MS leaf punch, Ranger Super Fine Gold ep, wire ribbon ("With Love"), SU Snail adhesive runner

I love making shaker cards and the Craft Gods know I have PLENTY of acetate sheets to make them! LOL! I thought it was perfect for the challenge and made sure to use papers with circles to keep the theme going. Don't let the photo fool you - those flowers are pink and not lavender. Card Recipe:

Stamp: SU God's Beauty

Ink: Versafine Onyx

Paper: Making Memories Sabrina pad, Prism Simply Smooth cs, black cs, SU Regal Rose cs

Supplies: acetate sheet, Spellbinders Large Circles die, small pink beads, Kaiser Scrapbook pink gems
