Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #21

Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! I’m still a little sad today as the Papertrey announcement sinks in a bit more. As I said yesterday, I am truly excited for what lies ahead, but it’s hard to let go of something that has been so fun and so rewarding. Thank you all for your encouraging comments and your support! I figured nothing could cheer me up more than a cupcake though… I certainly love hopping around and looking at all of your wonderful eye candy! I’ve found my recent sketches to be very linear… lots of straight lines. That’s generally where my layouts tend to go so I decided to stretch myself and try something with a circle. I pulled out my Stampendous Tiers of Treats image for this sketch. It has been one of my long-time favorite cupcake images, but it somehow got buried amidst all of my newer stamps. I colored the image with 
Copic markers and highlighted the strawberries and cherries with Glossy Accents. The buttons are from my stash and the patterned paper is from My Mind’s Eye. Let me introduce you to the Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! Meet Tammy from Stamp Happy! Her two cupcake cards from last week were so bright and fun. And her card for the Cupcake Challenge this week is another bright and fun one! You can check out all the card details on Tammy’s 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 fun Stampendous Pinwheel Parade acrylic set! You’re not required to use cupcakes.jpg)
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 TECC21 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 21). 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 23rd 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 going to see Wicked tonight… remember, that was my birthday present from him? I can’t wait! I have some pictures to show you this weekend too so stay tuned! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
