Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 304 - Colour Combo

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm a Surprise Sweetie over at Cupcake Inspirations to give my take on the 304 challenge which is based on a colour combo of cream, berry & grass. Here's the inspiration photo...cute hey...love those bunnies!

My result:

The patterned paper used is from Anna Griffin Hope Chest 6x6 pad trim down to about 4 by 5 3/4 inches. I then adhered that to a top folding berry coloured cardstock that was about 1/4 inch wider. The sentiment is from Neat & Tangled and is inked using Ranger Archival in Plum. I recently bought some paper butterflies from Paper World and they fitted perfectly since it was vanilla in colour. I tinted the edges using a YG67 Copic Ciao marker. To complete the card I added some grassy coloured enamel dots.

Hope you'll liked the card...Enjoy the weekend all!



Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - Confetti Inspiration

Hi Everyone,

 

Cupcake Inspirations are celebrating their 300th Challenge...they're giving away awesome prizes for their celebration challenge which cover 3 inspirational images. This is the third challenge entry.

 

This is their image and I absolutely love the vanilla setting with the pop of tiny colour all over:

 

 

 

My result:

 

I created a shaker card and I must say I struggled...I don't make these often enough (probably once before...it didn't even work cause I didn't have enough height of the foam). These type of cards take time but can be very rewarding and I'm glad to say it worked out this time.

I die cut a rectangle opening on my patterned paper and a rectangle border using my Bigshot machine. The border was covered in polka dot washi tape. The shaker was created by adding acetate sheet and then forming the compartment using foam. I filled it with sequins and little confetti flowers which I die cut using my Olba hand punch tool. I chose about 5 bright cardstock colours for the confetti. I adhered everything together and then mounted the panel onto a top folding green cardstock. I added the image and sentiment from Mama Elephant In my Heart stamp set. I copic coloured the little girl with pink, red and blue green for her shoes while the sentiment was white heat embossed on pink cardstock. To complete the card I added some enamel dots.



 

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - Color Inspiration

Morning Friends,

Cupcake Inspirations are celebrating their 300th Challenge...they're giving away awesome prizes for their celebration challenge which cover 3 inspirational images. This is my entry to the second challenge.

Their picture is:

My result:

I was able to recreate the table setting of the cupcakes after realising that my Cupcake Cutie stamp set from MFT had the perfect image. I copic coloured the image and added the sentiment from Waffle Flower Bowtiful stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To finish the card off I mounted the panel card onto a blue cardstock base, I added sequins, enamel dots, washi tape and white enamel accents to the cream on the cupcakes :)

Hope you'll enjoyed my take on the image!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - Sparkle Inspiration

Hey Everyone,

Cupcake Inspirations are celebrating their 300th Challenge...they're giving away awesome prizes for their celebration challenge which cover 3 inspirational images. Be sure to check my next two posts that are entries as well.

The first challenge is Sparkle and is based on the following photo...

My take on the picture:

I replicated the colors of the cupcake onto my card by using patterned paper and a chevron stenciled background in Peacock Feathers. I added a white ribbon which was coloured with Walnut Stain to give the same chocolate bow. The sentiment is from September Skies by Heidi Swapp. 

Onto my sparkle... I had a plain paper butterfly which I covered in Perfect Medium and then dusted it with Perfect Pearls Sunflower Sparkle. I set it by spraying the entire butterfly with a light coat of water and left it to dry. I lastly added gold enamel dots and a few diamanté to finish the card.
