Welcome to the
Layers of Color
Cake Decorating Party!
We have a line-up of fantastic crafting chefs that will inspire you to get into your creative kitchens and whip up some delicious artwork!
Our party hostess is Gunn Thelin Knutsen who is generously sharing her cake with us today!
Come whet your appetite with her creative paper cake slice boxes that are marvelously decorated with Layers of Color.
This is truly how you can have your cake and eat it too! Enjoy a tasty cake fresh from the oven,
while being creative with Layers of Color, pretty papers, laces, flowers, and even jewelry!
If you have come here from Lynn Stevens you are in the right place - if you wish to start from the beginning, go to Layers of Color.
On the menu today I have made Lemon Fruit Slice
These were stamped with one of the Fruitful Harvest stamps - they are sitting on a doily stamped with a medallion from the Touch of Elegance.
Here is a close-up of the slice, served and ready to be eaten, sitting on a doily stenciled using the Vintage Medallion art stencil.
This view also shows the edge of the slice, stamped with the tiniest stamp from the Touch of Elegance set and overlaid with lace.
Next on the menu are Polka Dot Cupcakes - the staple of any party.
These cakes are based on kraft coloured card and embossed (iced/frosted) with a mixture of gold and silver embossing powder, the 'cups' were stamped with an image from A Touch of Elegance stamp set. The wee creatures are from the Polka Dot Parade set of stamps - this set has a beautiful range of whimsical animal images.
On the inside of the card I used a greeting from the Happy Wishes clear art stamp set.
And finally, to finish off, Fly Away Sponge.
The main image is from the Royal Birds Clear Art Stamp Set and coloured with chalks. Both butterflies, from the Flutterescent Clear Art Stamp Set are stamped in interference ink.
Here is an image of the top of the sponge.
The rose is hand made in a metallic type of paper that really shimmers IRL.
From here you can continue to Nina Brackett's wonderful blog.
