I fell in love with the colors and since I'm a polka dot freak, that's what i went with! There just might be pumpkins on this cake; but I decided to go with a Christmas theme - HA! I'm such a rebel eh? I have an upcoming craft show and need to get some extra cards made and Christmas is just around the corner.
I painted a piece of green card stock with white paint and then painted some large polka dots with the same paint; however, I didn't use quite enough paint b/c after I stamped the polka dots and lifted the stamp - some of the card stock came off too. Eeeeekkkk...but then I decided it looked pretty neat, so I left it as it was! The green layer is mounted onto cream card stock with dimensionals.
The image is Christmas Usher from Penny Black. I stamped the image and cut it out; then stamped the skirt in vellum twice with Staz On pumpkin. You can't see, but I added glitter to the top layer of the skirt. I also adhered both layers of the skirt, just at the top, they are free to rise up a bit adding some fun depth and added a little orange ribbon belt.
Her top is covered in dazzling diamonds; love this image - it's very large too!
So go ahead, take some inspiration from that amazing cake and then join the fun at Cupcake Inspirations!
