I'm bouncing in my chair over this darling new Lockhart flower cupcake stamp image -- I think this is the one I was most excited about of Karen's 31 new images that were released this week! Here's what I came up with: Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #51 went together very quickly and is one I'll use over and over again -- I loved it and hope you'll try it, too!
Memory Box Raspberry note card is the base of this card that matched the bright pink flowers in the BasicGrey Sultry paper perfectly. Papertrey Ink's Spring Moss satin ribbon carries out the top horizontal element of this sketch and Spellbinders Mega Nestabilities Long Scalloped Rectangle die cut the Raspberry strip at the bottom, for balance.
Karen Lockhart's sweet new Rose Bud Cupcake (just released this week) is on Neenah Classic Crest Natural White cardstock and was colored with these Copic markers (W2 used for shadowing):
The cupcake image was cut and matted with Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Ovals dies (large & small sets), given a little bling-bling of pink crystal gemstones, and is popped up on dimensional foam tape. Copic Spica glitter pens in clear and pink accent the rose buds and what I'm calling chocolate sprinkles . . . Since this image is a mix between flowers and a cupcake, I made it a chocolate cupcake with chocolate sprinkles! All supplies (bolded text above), except ribbon, available from EllenHutson.com You can check out some other samples of this sketch by visiting the blogs of these ladies -- I'm sure you'll find some very inspiring ideas from them! Beate, Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig and MaryJo Albright. If you play along in the sketch this weekend, be sure to let me know so I can check out your creation!
