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.

Supplies

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.

Supplies

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.
