Paper Tole Rose, Tank Stand and Awesomely, Awesome Cake

Morning everyone, I have a couple of things to share with you today.  The kids have been busy and I love the work they have done so have to show the world. :-)

Firstly, I have created a card using Cor's very special sketch created especially for her Whopping Candy to celebrate two years of blogging.

I have used the second rose picture on the 3D paper tole Rose Sheet from Blue Edge Crafts.  I went around edge of each layer with my embossing tool to make the petals curve down.  I have joined each layer with silicone glue.

I have used Bazzill Card starting with the base card 'Haley'.  The pink strips are 'Blossom'.  I have also used a design paper, sorry I don't know the name.  Found some lovely cream ribbon with a gold trim and finished with the gold 'Best Wishes' sticker.

I would also like to enter into the following challenges:

Card Cupids - Anything Goes ends 13th March

Gingerloft - Use Flowers ends 19th March

Little Claire's Designs - Flowers ends 19th March

Simply Create - Power of Flowers ends 11th March

Here is the awesomely, awesome cake....well that's what my daughter (15) calls it.  She came up with this idea for her brothers 17th birthday last week.  As soon as she was home from school the day before she started mixing and telling everyone not to come into the kitchen.  She got just the right reaction from everyone when the first slice was cut...her two little cousins......gasped and were full of smiles.  Tasted yummy too.

The old fish tank stand.

The new fish tank stand.....made by our son from scratch.  His design too.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone.

I am off to do some more cleaning around the house.  Yay!!!

3D Paper Tole Rose

Yes, you will see a couple more 3D Paper Tole cards over the next week or so.  I am really enjoying them since I don't have to cut them out.

I decided this time to use the sketch at Create 4 Fun.

The base card is French Vanilla Bazzill Card then I added a strip of Crimson Bazzill Card.  I pin pricked along the edges of the Crimson card.  Next I assembled the Rose Paper Tole from Blue Edge Crafts.  Before putting together I used my embossing tool to go around all the edges on the back to curl the edges slightly.  Also embossed over all the petal edges.  Then used my silicone glue to stick the layers together.  Finished the card with triangles of gold foil which I ran through my Swiss Dots embossing folder but didn't like it so then ran it through my Victoria folder.  The 'Best Wishes' sticker finished the card.

I am entering this into Try it on Tuesday challenge which asks for a card inspired by a song.....my song is 'The Rose'.
