Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #27

Good morning! Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! Before I begin the cupcake day festivities, could someone tell me where July went!? When I was younger, the older folks around me used to lament about how fast time flies… and now I am one of those “older folks” wondering where the time has gone! lol. The image panel on the sketch this week is pretty big, so I decided to pull out my big Inque Boutique Party Cupcakes to fill the space. The cupcakes are colored with Copic markers and the liners are paper pieced with My Mind’s Eye patterned paper and Frosted Kiwi cardstock. I added Glossy Accents to the cherry (you can see in the picture that it’s not quite dry yet, but I didn’t have time to wait!) and Stardust Stickles to the candle flames. The sentiment is from Stamping Bella and the ribbon is from my stash. The finished size of my card is 5″ square. Now let me introduce you to the Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! Charmaine Ikach blogs at Oodabug Alley and I’m sure you’ve all seen her beautiful work before, right? If not, make sure you hop on over to her blog and check it out…you won’t be .jpg)
disappointed! Charmaine created this adorable “Hey Cupcake” card using this week’s sketch. I love the stitching around the outside and the fun, bright colors! Thanks for sampling the sketch, Charmaine! 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 Stampendous Changito the Monkey acrylic stamp set! 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.jpg)
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 TECC27 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 27). 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, August 4th at 8am PST to be eligible for the prize drawing. I can’t wait to see what you come up with! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
And you definitely don’t want to miss the wonderful inspiration from the Cupcake Crew this week!
