PDCC, WMSC #33, I just LOVE Cupcakes!..

Hi lovely people, hope that you are having a good start to the week? It's a beautiful bright sunny day here, if a tad chilly, and my eldest daughter is off school with a chest infection, so she's tucked up warm on the sofa watching Twilight! Yes, she is a Twilight addict now, she's just read the first 3 novels in about 3 weeks, just the one to go!

Anyway, I took the opportunity to rustle up a little something for The Play Date Cafe Challenge, and followed the fab sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I'm also entering this card into The Prairie Fairy Challenge which wants something for a sweetheart - it's my valentine card for my hubby :-) and Stampin for the Weekend, which wants Valentines.

Here is the colour inspiration:



And here is my take:




I have used the cupcake image from WMS Frame It! set, and stamped it in a variety of colourways until I was happy with the mix. Stamped the frame from the same set, added the sentiment from a WMS set and the 'cupcakes' part is from a Papermania set, the exclamation mark and full stop is from the Victorian Alphabet set also by WMS.




A close up of the sparkle I added using Glossy Accents and a teeny bit of glamour dust.




Added the sentiment inside using the punctuation as above, and the sentiment from 2 different WMS sets.



More sparkle, it's such a sunny day I couldn't resist!


Supplies used:

Stamps: Frame-It!, Fancy Phrases, Victorian Alphabet and Sweethearts sets all by Waltzingmouse stamps; Summer Bloom Picnic set by Papermania.
Card White Linen from stash.
Inks:Memento Grape Jelly, Rose Bud and Lady Bug; Versamagic Night Sky.

Have a sweet day, I'm off for a bit of cake yum yum!
