To my delight my new Flourishes set arrived in the mail today! What a treat! Couldn't help but take a little time (between laundry loads) to play. I stamped the main cake pieces on some colored dp by Basic Grey and then cut out and placed it on a piece of plain white cs. I used my coluzzle system to cut an oval out of acetate to be my glass lid for my cake. I cut with my exacto knife a slit not quite large enough for the oval to slip through and then created sort of a bubble and attached with a brad to appear as my handle to the glass lid.....hard to explain....easy to do. Topped it all off with a little gold cording and there you have it....a yummy chocolate cake!
Here is a close shot of the cake cover. It is hard to capture on a photo but the effect is really cool!
Hope you are enjoying some of the last LAZY days of summer. I know my "Lucy" sure is!

I love your yummy chocolate cake card! Great job with the "glass" dome, and way to think 'out of the box'!!
I wish I were Lucy right now. ;) She's so cute!
Looks like you have been busy, Sherrie. I, too, have been indulging in cake and coffee and must stop now...or not. Have a great time on your holiday if I don't connect with you again before you go. Email doesn't work and our technology is a bit basic over here.
This is great, love how you did the cover, glad to see that Lucy is enjoying her afternoon nap, I could use one about now myself.
And eat it too...! Love this card Sherrie, and the techinque/process is fab! I am not familiar with it all, but you sure are good with it! Just like the pro you are! Deb
Lucy so... has the right idea!!!! Don't you just love that cake set! The possibilities are endless and you have certainly displayed that hear with that wonderful cake cover. That is just stinkin' clever!

So cute Sherrie! I love your cake cover--what a clever idea. Those Jam Jams look good too. I just may have to try that. I think homemade raspberry jam is my favorite as well. Yummy!
