Some projects are just enjoyable from the very beginning...
Allison contacted me last week about a rush order needed for an upcoming party. She had some of the flat and disk type designs in mind, which don't take as long to dry, so they were the perfect choice for a short lead time.
Allison provided an inspiration board for her "April Showers Bring May Flowers" themed party, which was a great help for understanding her vision for the party...
Before I go on I just have to say, "I LOVE inspiration boards!"
After Allison and I finalized the toppers needed for her cake and cupcakes, I got to work. Allison wanted the toppers to match the orange, yellow, green and pink of her inspiration board fabrics. She wanted 24 flower disks and 24 umbrella disks for the cupcakes, and 36 cutout flowers for the cake. The project was great fun to execute and based on Allison's inspiration, the following toppers were created...
The photos were taken in a rush in my kitchen, so the colors appear a little off, but you get the idea.
Thank you Allison for the opportunity to work with you to style your April Showers bring May Flowers event -- may it be a GREAT success!
