Sometimes a card just doesn't turn out pretty, or even cute. It's not the card's fault. I was trying to play along at Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo #50. We were supposed to use Peach Parfait, Early Expresso and Pretty in Pink from Stampin Up. I was excited to play along because I had gotten my box with all the new colors. After a little pondering, I decided on the piece of cake from Sweet Treats cartridge.
So I knew it wasn't looking great, so I thought some stickles would help. I don't think they did. I was going for chocolate cake. It just looks like a striped brown box! Maybe if I round the corners a little? Come on, who has a cake that square?! Maybe if I had used the cuttlebug on the brown? I don't know.
Poor card! It's not his fault. Is there a place where the sad little cards can go?

Awww....common, you can still make something special out of it. How about cutting the brown layers a bit so you have room to put the frosting on the top and down the backside of it. You can even put a candle on top if you want. It would look great....add stickles to the frosting and wallah....a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add....leave the pink (I think you used for frosting???) leave that as a background and put the frosting so it flows or should I say drips a little at the top of the cake but do it using something like a paint where you can get some texture like real frosting and not one solid sheet. Hope you know what I mean. I wouldn't give up on that card yet.
ReplyDeletei personally saw the cake...maybe if you just round the cake layer corners (the brown). i dont know about you but my cake isn't perfectly square..its a little rounded on the corners where the extra icing goes in...yumm! so i dont think using a corner rounder on the left side of the cake layers would be bad.
ReplyDeleteHa. you are too funny. I've had a couple out under a dozen that went wrong too!
ReplyDeleteSo what flavor frosting it it ? :D I feel your pain in the not so hot card department. glad you came to play. :D Rounding the corners may help.
