This week is photo week over at Just Us Girls, and our gal Nancy has provided us with this beautiful photo for our inspiration. Aren't those cookies gorgeous? Way too beautiful to eat!!!
I had a terrible time photographing this. I just could not get the lighting right. But I did the best I could. Of course I chose to do an all white card, using a pearlized card stock. That Mixed Media 2 die from Tim Holtz seemed to fit the bill to recreate the texture of that beautiful cookie. I used the Darice Circle Interlock embossing folder for that fishtail banner and added Crystal Drops for accents. The butterfly is from Cheery Lynn. I think it might be retired because I couldn't find it on their website. The bow was tied using Gina's method.
Here are the Ingredients:
Core' dinations Pearlized Card Stock
Darice Circle Interlock Embossing Folder
Tim Holtz Mixed Media 2 Die
Cheery Lynn Butterfly
Ivory Seashell Crystal Drops
Stash Ribbon
