Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #57
Happy Friday and Happy Cupcake Day! Are you ready for another sketch challenge? I’ll tell you what I’m ready for… another weekend! My whole family (mom, dad, me, Jon, and my two sisters) have a getaway planned this weekend. We’re heading down to Del Mar beach (near San Diego). The weather is a little chilly for the beach this time of year, but at least it’s not supposed to rain this weekend! It will just be nice to get away for a few days. I decided to pull out the Sweet Celebration set to create a birthday party scene. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used my Stampamajig to stamp the sentiment one word on top of the other. The patterned paper is My Mind’s Eye from the Just Dreamy 2 collection. I used the
Fiskars threading water punch on the side of my border, added some Stampin’ Up decorative brads, and Zva crystal swirls in the background. I also added a couple Tiny Twinkles to the party hats. And now I’m so excited to introduce you to our Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! Dana White caught my eye with her adorable “Let’s Hang Out” card last week and she’s created something special for us again this week. She used another sweet Bella image and I love all the little details she added like the piercing around each layer and the Tiny Twinkles on the outfit and hat! You can check out all of the details on this card and more of Dana’s beautiful work on her blog: Dana’s House of Cards. Thanks for sampling the sketch this week, Dana! Now it’s your turn to to try the sketch! I’ll choose 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. You’re not required to use cupcakes for the challenge, but if you got ’em why not use ’em!? If you’re uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC57 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 57). Leave a link to your blog post or gallery upload using the Mr. Linky service so I can check it out! You must have your cards uploaded by Monday, March 2nd at 8am PST to be eligible for the featured cupcake sampler. Announcements and sneak peeks for the new release also begin on March 2nd… you don’t want to miss it!
