FAUX WEDDING CAKE!

This was a centerpiece that I did for a co-worker's daughters wedding.  I got the idea from youtube from Robbin of Crazed Crafter.  The two layers are paper mache' boxes picked up from Hobby Lobby.  I used paper studio open stock cardstock in creme to cover the boxes. Flowers were cut using the cricut cartridge Plantain Schoolbook.  I used 65# Wasau bright white cardstock from Office Depot and dyed them  with broken china distressed ink by Tim Holtz. The flowers on top were also dipped in UTEE for a glass finish. The swirls were cut using the Home Accents cartridge.  I also used Prima Nursey Rhymes flowers, stemens from Hobby Lobby, bridal pearls from Michael's, white tulle from Michael's, Pearl spray from HL, alot of hot glue, cardboard for base, and silver metallic paper by Best Occasions.
