Double Duty: On a Pedestal

I love, love, love this set. It is so much fun, and it really is versatile. Here are two cards both using Stampin' Up!'s On A Pedestal stamp set, and both using the same colors and paper; pink, black, and white. I've starting making 2 cards at a time now, why not? I've already got the supplies out, right?

I tried to make it look like a little bakery shop window with a black stripe awning. What do you think? Here I used the "Happy Everying To You!" sentiment to create a background on the lower card base. Then I added some some pink glass beads to emulate some frosting, and finished it off with a little Melon Mambo ribbon and a button (extra buttons from clothing, nothing special).

This one's a little more simple, but still just as cute if you ask me. I love how the text looks like a layered cake (in hindsight, I'm thinking that I should have made the word "Sweet" black), and that little cherry on top is the finishing touch. I really like that black and white paper. I snagged it from my mom, I believe it is by Me & My Big Ideas.

Happy Everything To You
