Tips- Adhere the sequins according to the rule of odds. The “rule of odds” suggests that an odd number of subjects in an image is more interesting than an even number. Thus the suggestion is to choose an arrangement with at least three subjects, hence we have three sequins. A triangular format creates a sense of stability and strength, therefore the sequins are placed in a triangular formation. Who knew you could put so much thought into where to place the sequins and how many should be used? What happens when one sequin falls off in the mail? Both rules are violated as we are left with two sequins in a line and the card automatically self-destructs! 🙂 If I send you a card and one sequin has fallen off, look for it in the envelope and reapply with a glue dot. 🙂
Another Tip- Always use Momento ink with Stampin’ Blends. Always us Stazon ink when watercoloring.
Did you notice anything wrong with the picture above? Me neither. I showed both Stampin’ Write markers and Stampin’ Blends because I thought both were used in the coloring of the cakes. Silly me! Why is it I don’t know what was used to color the cakes? I guess I should admit that I didn’t color them. Abby corrected me when she saw the picture and would like you to know that all the cakes were colored with only Stampin’ Blends. 🙂
Thanks Abby for coloring at least 15 cakes for me! I’m going to miss you so much when you go back to college this weekend and not just because you emptied the dishwasher every day for a month, wrapped all the Christmas presents and helped me with lots of things way more than your brothers! Love you Abby Dazzle! 🙂
Here’s more projects others have made with the Cake Builder Punch and Piece of Cake stamp set.

Blessings,
