Strawberries and Cake for Hues to Use

I'm playing catch up on the Power Poppy Hues to Use challenges so I used a newly released digital stamp to play along with the hues from June 12. As soon as I saw the Tea Cake with Strawberries set I knew I wanted to use it with these colors!

I decided to make the frosting the pink color, and also brought in the pink on the cake stand and the polka dots on the cup. The yellow was brought in on the cake, teacup, lemon and the center of the flowers. The green is the leaves and the doily under the cake. I had to add some red to color in the strawberries and then a gray tone on the cake stand.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cake and Colors for Friday Mashup

It's Friday Mashup time again and this week we say goodbye to another DT member, Amy. She is the host of this weeks challenge and I hope you'll come over and play along, and say goodbye to her. You can follow Amy at her blog HERE so you don't have to miss any of her beautiful creations!

Amy has a color challenge for us, plus she also wants to see cake on our project. The colors to use are
Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate & Basic Grey.

This stumped me for a bit but since I needed to make an anniversary card for my aunt and uncles 20th wedding anniversary I grabbed the Love & Laughter set and used the cake from there. I used Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry markers to color the stamp. The Smoky Slate was embossed for one of the panels behind the image and then I used some Coastal Cabana DSP.

With this cake stamp I like more definition so I drew in lines around the cake and added some tiny pearls to the corners.

Make sure you come play along with us at The Friday Mashup and say goodbye to Amy!
