The picture Nichole chose for this month's Blog Hop has lots of inspiration - and as soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to use my Cover Plate: Horizontal Stripes to try and mimic the striped cookie in the picture. Aren't these cookies just gorgeous and almost too pretty to eat!
I started by running my Cover Plate through the Cuttlebug with True Black cardstock and did the same with white cardstock to create my black and white stripes. Next, I took a lined stamp from Just The Ticket and stamped the pink vertical double line to match the cookie.
Using Mini Blooms, I die-cut a bunch of flowers and leaves in white cardstock and stamped them in Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst and Spring Moss inks, adding the center dots with black ink. I arranged them in a cluster, placing the smaller flowers on foam tape for dimension.
Love is die-cut in Hibiscus Burst cardstock three times and stacked together. I just love the font on this die! To finish things, I added glitter to the flowers.
