Beautifully Detailed Razzleberry Cake

Hi!

Hi and welcome to this week's Colour Creations Blog Share. As this goes live, I should be heading to bed as I have a very early start tomorrow on my NZ trip, but knowing me I will still be packing and trying to get all those last minute things done. Oh well, I can sleep on the plane!

This week we are creating with Rich Razzleberry. I can remember way back when it was a new In Colour that we got in Australia at the start of the process of bringing our market into line with the USA market. We also got Melon Mambo and Soft Suede at the same time. Ahh, the memories!

I've paired the colour with the Beautifully Detailed Laser Cut Paper and the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I stared by cutting the frame using the rectangle dies. I added adhesive around the back of the frame and then laid it over the sheet of laser cut paper, lining up the two edges. I then trimmed off the excess laser cut paper and adhered the whole piece to the Rich Razzleberry card base, which I had embossed with the Subtle DTIEF.

I pulled out my Rich Razzleberry Blends to colour the cake from Amazing Life, which is in a bundle with the Stitched Rectangle Framelits. To get a rounded look on the cake layers I coloured about a third of the way in from each edge with the Light Blend. I then coloured about half of each of those thirds with the Dark Blend. I used the Light Blend to smooth the lines, but not to go over the middle section. Finally, I coloured over the middle section very lightly and quickly the the Light Blend, applying as little colour as possible to the cardstock. You could probably even use the Colour Lifter in this middle section to get a 'shine' line.

I stamped the cake on the inside and coloured it the same way as the front. The candle is Light Bermuda Bay and the flame is Dark Daffodil Delight.

Time now to pop on over to Catherine's blog, where you can find the rest of this week's cards.

Bye for now,

Tina
