Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #555

Hello friends!! Today I am on the blog with a NEW challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges. For the next two weeks it is all about HALLOWEEN!! 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for the next two weeks. (CIC555)

My image was generously donated by the sponsor for the #555 Challenge, The Whimsical Art Witch.

I had so much fun making this card!!! I first created my background using various Distress Sprays. I then printed this FABULOUS pumpkin and colored it in with Copic markers. 

I fussy cut the image out and adhered it to my background. I then used some Glossy Accents in various places around the pumpkin. 

My last step was to adhere some white enamel dots around the pumpkin and some tiny bat sequins over the moon. I LOVE how this came out!!!

That is all from me today. I hope that you join us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #555. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS Monday!!!

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hi friends!!

Today I am stopping by with the new challenge from Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. This week we have a sponsor-Pixel Paper Prints!!! The shop generously donated the Unicorns and Rainbow Digital Stamps for the Design Team to use.

I chose to create a cute birthday card using the challenge colors of Purple, Lavender and Pink and some fun "magical" images from Pixel Paper Prints for this weeks card. 

Aren't these images fun? I chose to print a bunch of them around my card and then highlight my main unicorn in the challenge colors. Below is the badge for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #546.

These colors just SHOUT unicorn, don't they? I created the sentiment using fonts that I have on my computer.

After I popped my little colored unicorn onto the card with foam adhesive, I went around the card, and image, with little bits of Diamond Stickles for a fun look. 

I hope you choose to join us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. There will be prizes awarded to two random entries!! Please click the link above to see all the details!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!! 

Just a Reminder to Join Us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for Challenge #542

Hello everyone!! 

I am popping in with a quick post to remind you to come on over and play with us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #542. 

It is week #2 for this challenge and it is to use the colors Lime, Yellow and Orchid on a card.

Once again I used an image from the Varada Sharma Shop that she generously gifted us. 

Instead of coloring my flowers in orchid purple like I did last week, I decided to use yellow. I also used the sentiment that was gifted to us by Varada as well. 

I added some Kat Scrappiness Purple Glass Bubbles around the sentiment to draw more attention to it.  They were the exact color of purple I needed!!

Please hop on over to play with us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #542. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Reminder for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536

Today I am here on the blog with a reminder that it is week #2 for the Cupcake Inspiration #536. 

The challenge is to use the colors pink and mint on at card. Below is the challenge badge for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #536.

I used another digital image from our sponsor, Paper Nest Dolls. She generously gifted this the Design Team to create a card.

I colored in Cupcake Avery with Copic Markers and then cut her out with scissors. Isn't she adorable? 

I layered her over an embossed pink panel and added some sentiments that I printed out on the computer. 

I then added some sequins around the sentiments.

I hope that you will join us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #536 and create a card. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #527-Shades of Green

 Hello my Crafty Friends!!!

Today I am here with a card for the new Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #527-Shades of Green. I used a digital image from  WWW.CRAFTYSCRAPPERS.IN, our sponsor for this challenge. 

Isn't this little dragon a cutie? 

Below is the badge for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #526-Shades of Green.

I used a photo program to make this little scene with the clouds and my little dragon. I printed it out twice-once on printer paper and once on *Neenah White Cardstock. I started out by cutting masks out of printer paper, covering the clouds and the dragon, and then shading the background using *Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Next I used my Copic markers to color in the dragon and shade the clouds a bit. I used a *Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Die to die cut my panel and two scraps of green pattern paper. I adhered all to an A2, green, top folding card base, as shown. 

I then did a technique I have NEVER done before to get the little "scales" on my dragon. I used a two colors of green colored pencil-a dark green and a light green-and made tiny circles all over the dragon. This gives the illusion of scales!! I LOVE how it came out!!

I covered the clouds and the wings with a *clear shimmer pen. I used *Glossy Accents over the horns and the wings to make them stand out. My last step was to adhere the sentiment, which was also gifted to us. 

I encourage you to come on over and play with us this week. I so want to see your take on this challenge!!! Hope on over to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #526 to link up your creation!!

That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!
