Cupcake Inspiration Card

Some friends of mine have a wedding anniversary coming up, so I made a card for them.  I started with a plain text-printed card base from Canvas Corp. and transformed it with paint, stamping, glitter, etc.  The photo below shows my card sitting on top of an identical plain card base.  You can see how different my final card is from its starting point.

Supplies: card base from Canvas Corp.; paints & "Stickles" glitter from Ranger; swirl stamp from Paper Inspirations; stamping ink from Tsukineko; sticker phrase & heart sticker negatives from Simple Stories; assorted colored pencils.

I was inspired by a site called Cupcake Inspirations, where the prompt image was a set of cupcakes topped with sparkly pink sugar.

Here's a close-up that shows how sparkly the stenciled hearts on my card are when they catch the light.

Stenciling with Stickles and the negative pieces from old sticker sheets is a favorite technique of mine.  It works best with simples shapes, like these hearts.  Besides being fun, this type of stickers-into-stencils recycling is also a great way to get a little more mileage from sticker sheets.

The weekend is upon us, so I'll close by saying: Have a great weekend!!!  Thanks for visiting my blog today.
