Modern Girl Diapercake

I am so happy to be able to finally share these pictures with you. I have been wanting to post them for sometime, but I didnt want the wrong eyes to see them. So I made sure until after the shower before I could share this with you:



Dontcha love it!!! I love the outcome of it. The colour palette is: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Melon Mambo. I know Melon Mambo! At first I was worried that it may seem to bright, but thanks to my second set of creative eyes (my stamping partner in crime Chanthou) the Melon Mambo was a GREAT addition.

I decided to NOT have a fancy topper for the cake, because, if I do say so myself, the stamped design is just FAB-U-LICOUS. Here is a close up of what I am talking about:

I love it I love it I love it! Doesn't it look like patterned paper?? well, its not, I handstamped blank whisper white sheets of cardstock with old olive and then just trimmed them to my desired width.

And here is a close up of the letters:

I really wanted to add glitter to the letters, but then I thought to myself" wait, some of the glitter might get all over the diapers" So I just made sure to add lots of Stampin' Dimentionals to give it that little bit of omph.

I had alot of fun making this diapercake, I can't stop looking at the florish design :)

This looks great! Tip for you, next time you want glitter but don't want it to flake off try making the Shimmer mist spray with the Shimmer Paint. I've used it and just given the project extra coats so I could get a more pronounced shine. Looks great and it doesn't come off. Thanks for sharing!
