Each challenge, we give you an inspiration cupcake and you make a card or other craft project that is inspired by the cupcake.  Here is this week's cupcake (linked to original source):

Stampotique generously sent me a fun stamp to play with.  With the color inspiration, I knew that I wanted to make a mostly brown card with a pop of pink.  I used colored pencils on kraft paper.

SOG April Challenge Card

I'm finally getting some time to craft and it's so much fun.  I ordered some washi tape and some new digis and I went to town.  I fell in love with the Spring Parade digi from Some Odd Girl and I wanted to add something expected, so I chose Woodsy Mae.  This is my attempt at Barbara's cloud tutorial.  I didn't read all the directions though and used a dark color to fill in.  Hubby says it has a strange 3D effect.

Paper Pieced Kenny K Card

I had so much fun paper piecing the Kenny K image for last week's Cupcake Inspirations challenge, I decided to do another.  Isn't she craft-fabulous in her polka dots and flowers?  I layered the stamp over three different digi papers and printed them out.  Then I created the card base in my digiscrap program and printed it out as well.  I cut out the parts that I wanted to paper piece and glued them down with Zig Memory System 2 Way Glue.

Here's my card with a cute digi from Bugaboo stamps.  I thought he was so cute he'd be able to make the card all by himself, so I didn't use any papers.  I love the little banner sentiments.

Here's my card with a fantastic image by Kenny K.  I was inspired by the bright colors and the polka dots - check out my big dotty background.  I made a printable card using You are Amazing by Cluster Queen Creations and Erica Zane.  I created the card and printed it out.  I paper pieced the image and colored in her skin and hair.  I love how everything looks coordinated when you use a digital scrapbook kit to make a card.
