Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #22
Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! I’m so excited to show you my cupcake creation this Friday! You might recognize the sketch this week from the Love Birds card I showed you a couple days ago. I’ve been creating a lot of awnings lately so that’s what inspired this sketch. I used a cupcake from the Paper Salon Invitation Builder set and masked the cupcakes in order to stack them on top of each other. I colored them with Copic markers, added rhinestones, Stickles, and Stardust gelly roll pen… all the sparkliest things! Then I added a transparency layer over the top to make it look more like the window of a cupcake shoppe! The Happy Cupcake Day sentiment is from My Favorite Things Icing on the Cake set. The patterned paper is My Mind’s Eye and the ribbon is May Arts. This week’s Featured Cupcake Sampler is Sharon Harnist from Paperfections! She created this beautiful July calendar using the sketch. You can check out all the details on her blog! Now it’s your turn to try the sketch! I’ll chose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this weekend to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler next week. Your design and blog will be featured on my blog during Cupcake Friday. One random winner will also be selected from among all the participants to receive the cute Stampendous Dandie Trio woodmounted stamp from the latest Taylored Kit! You’re not required to use cupcakes for the challenge, but if you got ’em why not use ’em!? 🙂 You’re welcome to create something other than a card, just stick as closely to the sketch as possible and you’ll be eligible for the prize drawing and Featured Cupcake Sampler honors. If you’re uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC22 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 22). Leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog post or gallery upload so I can check it out! You must have your cards uploaded by Monday, June 30th at 8am PST to be eligible for the prize drawing. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Jon and I are headed to the Dodgers game tonight! I can’t wait to eat a Dodger Dog…it’s the best part of the whole game! 🙂 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
