I've had an entire day of creating projects for National Scrapbooking Day next weekend ... I'm so excited about the Challenges planned at Caardvarks ... there will be one challenge an hour for twelve hours, so plan to spend the day with us.
I have been wanting to try Taylor's Cupcake Challenge , and I really loved this week's sketch. I have quite a stash of clear dollar stamps, and this sketch was perfect for featuring these tiny cupcakes that I colored with Sakura glitter markers for some extra sparkle. I used 1", 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" circles for layering.
I stamped the background with my new favorite Flourish by Inkadinkado that I got from Random Arts. I also incorporated Sharon's Black Accent's Challenge to add a little pop to all of those bright colors ... a perfect birthday card for the stash.
I love your card, Stephanie. The background is awesome and I love the use of black to make everything pop!
