With Sprinkles, or Without?
It's tea party time once again, with smART Cookie, Trish D'Antonio, acting as our hostess.
Trish served up this sketch:
...and added "sprinkles" (bonus points for including some type of 3-D embellishment).
Per usual, I did a lot of anticipating and salivating before sinking my teeth into the first bite... Then using little more than powder blue & black cardstocks, black ink, stamp set WD-198 Small Things, and a decorative leaf punch, I came up with this piece:
It wasn't until wiping my mouth with my napkin, and feeling very satisfied, that I decided to look in my computer layout file again...
Oh, no! The background and focal panels were supposed to be "different." I had worked from a printed version which, for whatever reason, had eliminated the color variations. Shh! Don't tell Trish, but I actually LIKE my mistake.
As for a 3-D embellishment, hmmmm, I don't think the leaf punches I used really count, so no sprinkles for me... But no matter, I think this one is just as tasty without them...
To find out what Trish and the other Cookies did at the party, visit their blogs: Tah Dah!, Mama Dini's Stamperia, Dee's Studio, Susie Stampalot, and Sweet Somethings.
You could also take a little taste of Trish's sketch yourself, then send me a link. I promise, with or without the sprinkles, it will be mmm...mm good, and lots of fun!
Wow, Susan, lovely card. All the impact of black and white, but calmer and softer at the same time. Beautiful.

I love this design... and that stamp set.

Ooh, I love your version! Those colors are so very elegant. I think you followed the recipe just fine (and I didn't use sprinkles, either!)
