Thanks...It seems that it is missing something. I think it is prolly just the "sparkle" from the "jewels" and luster dust that will be on the actual cake. It is going to be a brooch on the bottom tier. I wanted to make it out of RI- make it like a tiara and add cake diamonds to it. I sketched it by hand initially but wasn't able to get the jewel idea to come thru so I used a combo of Paint and Artrage. So much fun! I can't WAIT to see what they say!


Here's the link to the Artrage program- It has a limited free version but the full version is only $25. A very good program!

FWIW, I think you need to swap the designs on the bottom two tiers. I think the "heaviest" pattern should be on the bottom. And I've seen belted/banded effects on bottom teirs and really feel they look better on an upper tier. The belt/brooch is a focal point, it should be "higher". Kinda nitpicky, but sketch it the other way and compare. Otherwise a beautiful design. Really nice.
