Happy Sunday! I am popping in with a card to share. I am playing along with a couple of blog challenges. The Card Concept and Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I chose the middle going across. My free item was the butterfly.
I just love all of the colorful cupcakes and details in the inspiration photo. Instead of going all carbs, I chose to make a very colorful butterfly!
I started with some stampers select white. I die cut and stamped all of my framed elements to mimic the background cupcake plate using Stitched in Time stamp set and Stitched in Time border die. I used amethyst allure, lovely lady, and hawaiian shores inks. Next, I stamped a piece of classic kraft card stock with Cover Up: Quatrefoil stamp set using classic kraft ink. I used kraft to mimic the actual cupcake batter.
For my butterfly, I diecut and stamped the butterfly from Butterfly Blooms stamp set and Butterfly Blooms die set with versamark and white embossed. I used Tim Holtz stamping platform for perfect placement. I used my Arteza Waterbrush markers to color. I did spritz with water and blot a couple of times to get a more pastel tone of colors to look like the icing. I also added some Wink of Stella pen for lots of shimmer and shine.
I die cut the sentiment strip from Tag Sale Quilted die using True Black card stock. I stamped the sentiment from Kindness Counts stamp set using versamark and white embossed. I assembled my card and finished with a few clear Nuvo Crystal drops Morning Dew.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
