Magnolia-licious Color Challenge #13

Our challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog (brought to you by Norma) is to use the colors black and white and 1 other color on your card/project. I decided to go with an "off the page" project today.





I made a wedding cake inspired by the "royal wedding" using this couple that I got from Magnolia-licious.  Unfortunately, I slept through the entire royal wedding on TV but thank goodness for all the news coverage as I got caught up real fast. I can remember all those years ago when I was a child waking up early just to watch the prince's parents get married - I can't believe I slept through this one LOL!

Well, this particular wedding couple doesn't seem to be available at the moment at Magnolia-licious but there are so many adorable wedding images there that you have to check out.  The boxes and pink tissue paper fringe/garland I used are from Angie's new store Love To Stamp and they are by Melissa Francis. Wouldn't this "cake" make a lovely wedding or shower favor? I covered the boxes with embossed white DCWV papers (which is hard to see in this photo). I also used some lace, pearls, pearl string, and feather boa that I had in my stash.  Flowers are from WOC.

Copics used today are:  E11, E00, E000, R20, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, E35, E33, E31, Y000, R85, RV10, G21, G20

I will enter this project at the following challenges:

It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Angela, I did hear a thud when I first saw this—the sound of jaw hitting the floor. It’s so elegantly breathtaking. What a lot of work you’ve put into this. I ador it. If this was a real wedding cake, you probably wouldn’t want to touch it—why run perfection!

Now I'm back to wondering what to do with mine, as I could never steal your idea! Absolutely stunning!
