Clearly, I've had cupcakes on the brain this week :) Today's card uses the adorable new Verve set, Carpe Cupcake. The layout is Jen's Sketch For You To Try...
and the color combo is from the Colour Create Challenge #52 (you *know* I didn't choose those on my own! I am so NOT a purple person!), based on this beautiful inspiration photo:
I used to participate in tons of challenges. Not so much lately, but three new-to-me challenges this week have reminded me how much I enjoy them. The papers are all from Basic Grey's Kioshi collection, which seemed a great fit for the color challenge. The cupcakes are paper pieced and dotted with glitter. Behind the center sentiment circle, I added a doily, which is an optional extra with the Colour Create challenge.
Check out what the SFYTT sisters did with this week's super cool sketch:

ReplyDeleteAmy, you may not like purple, but it likes you! Beautiful card :) And in my humble opinion, no one does cupcakes likes Wegmans {laughing} Oh how I have wished for one with a nice cup of tea since we have lived in Arizona. But...I'm back in Virginia again (got here Thursday evening). I've had a few moments to see what you've been doing. As always, you just simply inspire me with your impeccable work!
ReplyDeleteYou are always so clever with these sketches. I can never think this way, and always just do sketches exactly as I see them. Love the lace background!
ReplyDeleteVery yummy card! I love the color combo...TFS
