Cupcake Sketch

Would you believe this is like the most popular sketch week ever!?  There are so many sketches out in blogland this week, and so many prizes to win!  This card is for Taylor's cupcake sketch challenge (TECC52TV).  I used a Hanna Stamps Riley stamp that I've had for quiet some time now, but never used.  I colored him with copics and watercolored his face because I didn't have a lighter shade of brown in my Copics.  The dp is The Sweet Stack from Die Cuts with a View, again.  I used a Sizzix flourish die cut for the Baja Breeze flourishes under my main image, and some SU! buttons in Pink Pirouette.  The "Got Cupcakes" sentiment is from my Flopsey Cupcake set from MFT.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Trying New Things!

Yep, that's me, trying a few new things. I got the latest issue of Paper Crafts and saw some really neat "suspension cards" with a hanging element hanging between two layers. I gave it a try with my new Big Shot scallop circles. I first cut out the largest circle on the actual card. Then I cut out a smaller circle in Whisper White and Kiwi Kiss (the Kiwi Kiss layer is behind the white piece).  I stamped with the "Tasty Sweet" set, and a Michael's $ sentiment, then put ribbon between the two circles and suspended it in the middle of the larger circle. I am really excited how this turned out!

My next card uses a Hanna stamp that I haven't used before. I (almost) followed Beate's WSC56.  I used the scallop border on the pennant die to create the Riding Hood Red scallop border.  The

DP is Boxer by BasicGrey.  Hanna is colored with Copic markers, and the lamp shade was paper pieced.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
