Happy Glossy Cupcakes
Happy Wednesday! It's a gorgeous day here today, hope it's been fine where you are.
I'm feeling very pleased with myself as I love the result on this card. I've made it with the Friday Mashup challenge in mind. This week it's Sweet as a Button. You can use a button/s on your project or a cupcake or a mash up and use both.
I've reached for On a Pedestal stamp set. I stamped the little cake in Not Quite Navy onto Very Vanilla then again in Pacific Point. I cut out the Pacific Point icing and attached with a Dimensional. I covered the icing in Crystal Effects and added a swirl of silver string. The Very Vanilla panel was mounted onto Not Quite Navy and then mounted onto Blueberry Crisp Designer Paper. I made a tag using the Decorative Label Punch and Crumb Cake. "Happy" was inked in Pacific Point on Very Vanilla and cut out, then mounted the same as the main panel. I added some Very Vanilla ribbon and a Real Red button dressed with a little silver thread. The word Happy was also covered with Crystal Effects. The card base is Crumb Cake.
Best go and check on the dinner, enjoy your evening! x

ReplyDeleteHi Aileen, Love the shape and colour of your cupcakes, I really like how different they are (not really a cupcake fan here!) I also like the way you've placed your sentiment vertically. It's always good to see an old friend of the Friday Mashup playing along with us. Cheers,
