Will the inspirer (I didn’t know that was a word, but Spell Check likes it) of this card realize she inspired me? Not to keep you in suspense, it was Sharli (from Sharli’s Place) again with this gorgeous card.
Yup, I changed it up a bit, using different papers, etc. What I really wanted to emulate was her beautiful coloring that so perfectly coordinates with the paper she used. And don’t you love her button treatment? I settled for a piece of coordinating cardstock, border-punched to correlate with the base of the plate. What you can’t see are the yellow Stickles I added to the flame and the dimensional sentiment, which was mounted with foam tape.
Thanks, Sharli! As much as I love this stamp set, I seem to need a little help. And, I know just what my “inspirer” will say, “That’s what friends are for!”

I hope you are having a great day! Footloose and fancy free shortly after 2 pm this afternoon, my day has been wonderful. And, I have a date this evening!

I LOVE your card! The cake is beautiful and all that piercing - I never do that because it always winds up crooked! It looks so good on your card!
Enjoy your date!

What a wonderful card, Kathi! What I especially love is that you can completely change the feel of the image by using different colors, it almost looks like a different image. Wonderful work on your card and on Sharli's, too.
Love when friends inspire each other!
Hope you enjoyed your dinner date and that you have a wonderful weekend!
