Okay...the other day I really wanted to create something, but nothing was working for me. I kept having these ideas in mind, but they never turned out the way I had planned. So I had just purchased the color coach and thought I would go there for color inspiration (since I have a hard time with that even on a good day) since I had the layout in my head already. I love scallops! Wasn't sure what set to use so I looked through my binder (which holds all my stamped images) I knew I wanted something either small enough to stamp several times or big enough to take up some space on the card. So I chose the L2 Hostess set Cause for Celebration. I started with Always Artichoke (my favorite color in the stamping world) and then went to Rose Red. I scalloped the bottom edge with my corner rounder punch (love this but it did take some practice--in fact I tried it a while ago and couldn't get it, so I gave up, but figured a couple months later that I needed to master it...so I did! :)) and adhered it to Always Artichoke. I took some whisper white and stamped the cupcake 3 times, also stamped it on some Rose red Designer Prints and cut them out. I used my markers to color in the cupcake. Before adhering it to the card I paper pierced some So Saffron and layered it with the focal image and some Almost Amethyst CS. I stamped the sentiment from Lots of thoughts (a SAB set). And there we have it...
Supplies:
Stamps: Cause for Celebration and Lots of Thoughts
Ink: Basic Black Stamp Pad and Almost Amethyst and So Saffron Markers
Paper: Rose Red, Always Artichoke, So Saffron and Almost Amethyst and Rose Red DP
Accessories: Crafters tool kit and Paper Piercing Template
Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all your comments!
