 I don't know about you, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Colors so that's where I took my start for this Card!!

 

I used the BEAUTIFUL Pretty Posies Stamp Set and  the coordinating Pretty Posies Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I Die Cut them out!! I Watercolored them using some Distress Inks!! I Die Cut a Tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-Die Set, for my Focal Point Base then Stamped and Embossed a Sentiment form the BE Stamp Set!! I added it all to a Watercolored Background that I added some White and Blue Splatters!! I thought this elements drew in the Paint theme from the Inspiration Photo!!?? Then I added some Specrturm Noir Glitter Pen to the Flowers and some Tonic Studio Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Centers of the Flowers!! Some Sparkle Gel Pen Details and a Blue Ribbon Bow to Finish off the Tag!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create for the Challenge!!

Sparkle Inspiration Challenge's 300th Challenge Celebration ~ Paper Sweeties Sonsor!! =)

Pin It




HELLO!!
Today I'm sharing the card I have made for the Sparkle Inspiration Challenge's 300th Challenge Celebration!! They are hosting a Super FUN Challenge with LOTS of Giveaways and Paper Sweeties along with several other AMAZING Sponsors are giving away AWESOME Prizes!! =) I was inspired by the Colors and the Sweet Cupcake!! So here is my Card!!

I've used the Paper Sweeties Sending Sweet Thoughts Bundle Set to create my Sweet Little Cupcake Image!! I Stamped each of the elements with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and then used some Ranger Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder to Emboss them!! I Paper Pieced the Image together to create a SWEET Little 3-D Cupcake that I think looks YUMMY enough to eat!!  =)  I wanted to add some "Sparkle" so I coated the Top of my Cupcake with some Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter and I LOVE the way that it shines in real life!! =) I used a Stitched Circle Die from Lil' Inker Designs to create a FUN Layered Circle Window on the front of my card to help make the YUMMY Cupcake the focal of my card!! I added a Patterned Paper Strip to the left hand side to help balance the card design and then to finish it off I wrapped a Black Ribbon around my card front and tied a Bow!! A few Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Sequins finish off the Design!! I LOVE the way it turned out and I hope you'll be able to join in on the FUN for a chance to win some AMAZING Prizes!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!  =)
