The leaves are also die cut from vellum to replicate that airy look on the cake. In order to create some interest in the background, I blended in some distress inks and then using a Studio Calico Chevron mask, I lightly spritzed it with some water. The water reacts with the distress ink and created a watermark look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"802\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8803\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3246.jpg\" alt=\"You're Love - Detail | Mario Vagg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3246.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3246-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3246-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3246-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well I am off to <a href=\"http:\/\/lostinpaper.wordpress.com\/\">Therese&#8217;s blog &#8211; Lostinpaper,<\/a> to she what gorgeous creation she has made.
