To start, I followed the instructions on this video to create a layered cake and cake stand. I used Kuretake Watercolours, cold press watercolour paper, and a flat paint brush for the majority of the cake, switching to a detail brush for the bottom of the cake stand.
The video shows flowers on top of the cake. I practised a few times on scrap watercolour paper, but in the end decided to follow this short video on an easy watercolour flower instead. I added some splatters of yellow and violet to finish. I'm not happy with the flowers, but Jer was happy to give this to his friend to celebrate her birthday.

See you soon.

Beautiful cake card! Wow, I.would like to eat this rainbow of fun, there's sure to be a burst of flavor inside there! Beautiful painting, Loll
Stunning! I love the artistic look of it, Loll. Your cake decorated with flowers looks beautiful. Watercolor is a difficult technique, but you pulled it off perfectly. Your flowers combine techniques from both films, very inspiring. Your son's friend certainly appreciated the art and beauty of this card.
hugs,

Loll, your card is a work of art! Jeremy had to be so happy with it and so will the birthday girl, I'm sure of it!
