Happy TGIF!!! Have you seen....it's Jan Marie's birthday!?! Happy Birthday Jan Marie!!! Hope you are having a fun one!!!
Today is the second day of the Hopping Through the Decades Celebration !!! If you missed yesterdays hop please click HERE to check it out!!! If you just came from Laura's blog then you are right on track!!!
If you followed along then I bet a lot of you have been reminiscing and having a little giggle too. Who could forget the leg warmers of the 80’s??? How about the TV shows like 90210 or the A-Team???
I chose decade *2010*....well we are only two months into it and I'm not sure how to define it since it's still in the making!?! So.... I'm running with the Vancouver Winter Olympics *wink*!!! I thought I'd give Jan Marie my *German* twist on this fabulous new Stamp Set...LOL!!! Did you see that the German Team is in second place winning Olympic Medals....see I can't lose either way...he,he,he???
Here is the card without the yummy candy........
As you can tell I designed a CAS card. I used the colors for the German flag - Red, Gold and Black. I substituted my *Gold* for Marigold Morning. The card base was scored first. Next I stamped the cake with the different colors. I finished it off with a Punched Out Flower, some Black Satin Ribbon and the sentiment is from the Taglines Set ...voila!!!
The Candy Wrappers were inked in Real Red using the Largest Cake Layer image. I used Candy Nuggets and I cut each wrapper at about 3 1/4" and adhered them with a Sticky Strip. I topped each candy with another punched out flower and added a Silver Pearl in the center. Aren't they delicious looking???
Now it's your turn - would you can like to win our new Let Them Eat Cake set drawn by artist Becky Fleck??? All you need to do is leave a little love on our designer's blogs. If you comment on all 14 posts in the hop, please go back to Flourishes Blog and leave a message saying, "I hopped through the decades with Jan Marie!" We will then randomly draw 2 names on Saturday at 12 pm CST from all those who participated. The winners will receive the *Let them Eat Cake* Stamp Set along with some other goodies - wahoooo!!!
Since I'm last in todays hop I thought I'd list all the participants.....so you won't miss anyone :) !!! Good luck and thank you for hopping along with us!!!

Another awesome card, Silke - I'm always blown away by your creations. What a fun idea to use the Olympics as inspiration. I may have to use your idea for some cards I'm making this week. Thanks for the great sample.
Hi Silke~~
What a fantastic card! Using the 2010 Winter Olympics is a great way to remember what we have had of the first two months of 2010!
I love the elegance of the satin bow and the black flower with the pearl. This card seems like it would be a great invitation to a very fancy German party! It is "Black Tie" and there is a "Corsage!)
I love what you did with this stamp set! Beautiful!
