There is Still Time to Play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569

 Hello Crafty Friends!!

Just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569. This time around the challenge is all about mermaids!!!

Once again I used an image from the Etsy shop JuliaSpiri for my image. Instead of coloring it in, I chose to leave it gray and add some ocean elements around the image. 

Below is the inspiration badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challege #569. Aren't those cupcakes adorable?

The paper behind my image is a scrap that I had in my stash. I thought it was perfect for this card. 

The shells were die cut with dies from Hero Arts and the netting is from a die by Tutti Designs. I chose to leave most of the elements white with the color being behind the focal images. I like how it came out.

I hope my card inspires you to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges this time around. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS week!

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges!!

 Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with a new challenge from Cupcake Inspirations Challenges. Challenge #569 is all about mermaids!!!

The inspiration badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569 is below.

I will be honest, I struggled with this challenge. Mermaids are just not my thing and I do not have any mermaid stamps. Etsy to the rescue!! I bought an image from the JuliaSpiri Shop and colored it in with Copic Markers.

I layered the image onto a a 5" by 7" card base that had a white, embossed piece of cardstock. The embossing was a net that I thought was PERFECT for this card. 

As you can see, the hair gave me a bit of trouble. I was going to blend the top in but decided to leave it because I thought that a mermaid would have seaweed like hair. 

Care to join us this round of Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #569? Hop on over to the blog for more information. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by!!! Have a fabulous week!!
