Hey, Cupcake!

Posted on April 27, 2015 11:18 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For the Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS322) today on Splitcoast, the challenge to make a card with a cupcake on it. I had this big grin piggie & a fun “Hey, Cupcake!” greeting. So as I’m putting my card together, I start thinking…I need a really little cupcake. What to do? I started looking at my punches, figuring I should be able to put something together. The bottom of the cupcake is a little teacup punch. I cut off the handle & drew a few lines to make the cake part. The frosting part is a little cloud punch & I drew a few lines to look like frosting. I had a little candle punch, so that was handy. I think it’s just the right size!

The Wordy Birthday greeting was stamped 3 times on the background & I added a narrow strip of black to the upper & lower edges then added my cupcake bearing pig on top. I used a black glaze pen to add the 3 black dots in the lower right corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Since I didn’t have a chance to do the Color Challenge (CC527) on Splitcoast yesterday, I’m combining it with the Sketch Challenge (SC537) today. When I started out, I wasn’t sure I would be able to work these colors but I found one piece of a sand card stock which is a dead ringer for the sahara sand. Other than white, that’s the only card stock I used. I white heat embossed the flowers & greeting on the sand card stock. On the flowers, I used Prismacolor pencils to add the other 2 colors…wasabi & pink. For the sketch, I turned the square to better fit & the die cut border serves as my long horizontal panel.

After I die cut the sand card stock, I colored a narrow strip w/ a pink pencil & attached it behind the cut out to act as the ribbon element on the sketch. The flowers were fussy cut & attached on my square/diamond shape. I also used the pink pencil around the border of the sand layer & added a fussy cut butterfly.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: DRS Designs –Dogwood Branch, Special Day Wishes, Three Butterflies

Accessories: Spellbinders square, A2 matting basics A, Anne Border strip dies, Lil’ Inkers stitched rectangle die, Prismacolor pencils, white embossing powder, sequins

A big congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper (FS428)! She has such a super gallery & I noticed she uses this big circle front & center layout quite a bit, but I was really inspired by THIS card. I kept the layout and bow but used different images, slightly different colors & added some fussy cut lilies & left off the lace trim.

For my card, I stamped, colored & fussy cut two of the big calla lily images & one of the small lilies from the candle image. I already had the white die cut circle, so I stamped the rest of the candle image & the greeting on top. The backing circle was die cut then I stamped the stained glass image on top, colored it in, added a larger black circle behind it & a white lacy edge circle behind that.

The bow was also die cut, a little color added and attached on top of the lilies. Some white sequins were attached for just a little sparkle. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Congrats again, Mary! Thanks so much for looking!
