There is a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with a card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #602. This round is a THEME challenge-Favorite Foods.

I used a bunch of Spellbinders products on this card. I had so much fun creating this card!!

Below is the badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #602:

I had fun using ink blending and cardstock for the die cuts on my card. 

I then adhered the die cuts over a dry embossed background and added some silverware that was die cut from mirrored cardstock.

This was a lot of fun creating my card. I LOVE all the ones I created using these dies.

Want to join us this round? Head on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog for more information.

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day.

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577

Hey Friends!!! 

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577. This round is a THEME challenge-BEARS.

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC577.

Once again I used a bear from our sponsor this round, PJ Moore Illustrations. Isn't it so cute?

Once again, I resized the digital stamp and printed it out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. 

I colored it in with Copic Markers and cut it out. I shaded a white, A2 card front and shaded the back in with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then adhered the bear on top. 

I added scraps of pattern paper around the image for some fun detail. I added a sticker label and used stickers as the sentiment. I LOVE how this card came out!!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #536-a Theme Challenge

 Happy Monday everyone!! Today I am here with another challenge from The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. This week it is a THEME CHALLENGE. It was to use Mint and Pink on our card.

Below is the Challenge Badge for #536.

We have a sponsor with use this week. Paper Nest Dolls generously sent an image for us to use on our card. There will be a random drawing for a prize of three images of the winners choice.

This image is called Avery with Hearts. I colored her in with a combination of Copic Markers and colored pencils. I then combined two sentiments to create my sentiment block.

I die cut the image out and layered it over scraps of pattern paper. 

I hope that you this inspires you to come on over and play with us this week at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

Time for a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations!!!

 Hi everyone!! Today I am popping in with a card I created for the new Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #524-Balloons. 

I used a digital stamp from Laurie Furnill Ink on Etsy. She generously donated to "The Sweeties" her Animal Digital Stamps to play with this round. 

To be honest, I had NEVER used a digital stamp before. It was a learning curve for me because you can resize them so you can add more than one a card. Since I wanted to do some detail coloring, I chose to only use one of the images on my card.

I used Copic markers in the warm grays (W00-W04) to color in my mouse. I did a dot technique to give her fur some texture. Below is the inspiration photo. I did not choose to use the colors as my inspiration but the theme.

The sky was created using a stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. 

The sentiment is from my stash. I altered it because I wanted something smaller for my card. Again, if I had more experience with using the digital stamp, I could have moved the adorable mouse over to use a more dynamic sentiment.

I layered the mouse over some colored cardstock that matched some of the colors I used for her outfit. I also chose to use some Glossy Accents over the pink balloon to give it some shine. 

This card was a lot of fun to make and I will definatly be playing around with digital stamps in the future.
