I'm back with my third card for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th Challenge - confetti.  Be sure to hop over to the challenge blog to learn all about our three challenges and fantastic prize packages.

I've been into CAS cards recently.  I thought this sweet bunny from My Grafico would be perfect for a CAS card.  I colored her with Copics and added glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I stamped a sentiment that I had in my stash and added a few sequins because I'm loving sequins right now.  I think the sequins are perfect for the confetti challenge.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - confetti (post 2)

I'm back with another fun confetti post for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th challenge!  

When I saw this cute little bunny at Oddball Art, I knew that I needed to use it.  As I was waiting for the image to arrive, I watched the 2.18.15 Inspiration Wednesday video and it all started to come together.  The idea of the Velveteen Rabbit came to me so I printed out two copies of a passage from the book.  I printed out several sizes of the kawaii bunny and made two of them into tags with a die from Winnie and Walter.  I added glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle to the big bunny's heart and the little bunnies ears and tummy.  Then, I pretty much followed Donna's steps with different colors and and stencils.   I think the hearts look like confetti thrown out.   I love the way it turned out!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - Confetti

It's time for our third challenge in the Cupcake Inspirations 300th challenge celebration!  Today, we're launching our confetti challenge.  I'll have multiple cards today, and I'll post them one per hour until I run out.

We have three fabulous prize packages - one for each challenge!  Check out all of our amazing sponsors.

I learned a new technique at an open house at my local stamp shop.  You take embossing paste, mix it with ink, and you can make it look like frosting.  With this one, I added pink flocking.  I was inspired by this card that I found on Pinterest.  I had leftover embossing paste, so I made a matching gift tag.

I love the whimsical images from A Day For Daisies and this Fairy Flower Party is perfect to celebrate our 300th challenge.  I colored the image with Copics and added a little Swan Wing glitter to the wings.  I love the way it makes them look feathered.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge - color (card 2)

This is my second card for Cupcake Inspiration's 300th Challenge color challenge.  I'm loving these fresh colors.  I used a embossing paste and ink to create the dimensional frosting.  I was inspired by this card that I found on Pinterest.  I love the sequins!  I had enough "frosting" left over that I created a matching gift tag.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - color

Welcome to the second round of challenges for Cupcake Inspirations 300th challenge!  Today, we have our color challenge.  I love these fun fresh colors.  Again, I have several cards to share today, so I'll post one an hour until I'm done.

We have tons of fabulous sponsors and each challenge has it's own prize package!

My first card was inspired by this card that I found on Pinterest.  I loved the little heart cutouts to show the paper underneath.  I painted a background and then stamped the cute s'more.  I added sequins from Simon Says Stamp.  I'm a little late to the sequins trend, but now I'm loving them.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - sparkle (card 4)

This is my last card for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th Challenge - Sparkle.   Be sure to hop over to the challenge blog for all the details.

Christmas cards just scream for sparkles!  So, I used lots of Stickles and glitter glue to finish of this Christmas Tree cupcake from Fresh Brewed Designs.  I found the plaid flowers in my stash and thought they really put the finishing touch on the card.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - sparkle (card 3)

This is my third card for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th Challenge - Sparkle.   Be sure to hop over to the challenge blog for all the details.

I love this beautiful image from Meljen's Designs.  I wanted to focus in on the sweet unicorn so I made a CAS card.  I played with some new purple Copics that I hadn't used before.  I like the color, but I need to work on the blending.  I added glitter to the flourishes and the horn.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300 - sparkle (card 2)

This is my second card for the Cupcake Inspirations 300th Challenge - Sparkle - see my previous post for all the challenge details.  You may not know this about me, but I have a thing for cats.  So this cute image from Bugaboo spoke to me :-)  I focused on the clothing coloring on this image and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.  My skin color Copics all need new ink or replacement nibs so I'm waiting on a shipment! I used embossing powder and double sided tape to create my own glitter paper.  I really like the way it turned out.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 300!

It's finally here!  Cupcake Inspirations 300th challenge is here!  We have three fantastic challenges each with it's own fabulous prize package!  I have several cards to share with you for each challenge. I'll be posting them one an hour today, March 3 and March 5.
Our first challenge is sparkle - what a great way to celebrate!

My first card features the same stamp set that I used last week - so many cute puppies!  I used glitter to make all the lights.  I remembered all the washi tape that I have - silver seemed perfect for my holiday hound.
