There is Still Time to Join Us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568

Hey Friends!! I am just popping in with a reminder that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #568. It is a theme challenge this time around. It is to create a project for Mother's Day/Someone Special Feminine.

Like last week, I chose to create a card with ME in mind. I decided to do the same for this week. Since I lost my mother, Mother's Day is tough. I used the digital stamp "Gnome with Donut" that was generously donated to us by our sponsor for this challenge, PJ Illustrations.

Isn't this little gnome cute? I colored him in with Copic Markers and added some Glossy Accents randomly around the image when I was done. Hop on over to PJ Illustrations for more adorable digital stamps to use!!

Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #658.

You might be thinking, why do this card in red? While I chose the background papers first and then colored in the gnome!!! All the pattern paper used were scraps that I had in my stash for YEARS!!!

The die cut sentiment and the sentiment strip were from my stash and I apologize for not remember the company where they came from.

Want to play with us this week? Hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog for more information about this challenge and to see other fabulous projects from our Design Team!!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by. Happy Crafting!!!

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hey friends!! 

I am popping in to say that there is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog. For the next two weeks, CIC#562 is all about VALENTINES DAY!!!!

For my card, I used an image from the sponsor for this challenge, The Whimsical Art Witch. 

This image from The Whimsical Art Witch is the Valentines Day Tomte Gnome Hearts. 

I had SO MUCH FUN coloring this image in!! The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562 badge is below.

I was inspired by the reds and pink in the badge. I used Copic Markers to color him in and the beard was a bit of a challenge. 

The sentiment is from 49 and Market and my background I used my NEW Hero Arts Block Cling stamp to smoosh different inks that matched my colors. 

To give the gnome some sparkle and shine, I used a sparkle pen and Glossy Accents. I cannot wait to send this out for Valentine's Day!!!

To join us for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #562, please hop on over to the BLOG. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

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