Have you been checking in on all the Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash challenges over at the Stamp A Sweet Impression (SASI) blog today? We hope you'll join in this long holiday weekend and try a few. There will be prizes for each challenge, as well as a mega cool grand prize! You have 5 days to complete any or all of 13 of the challenges (you are able to combine a few challenges if you don’t have time to make 13 projects) and you may use any stamps you choose.
My challenge is now posted HERE, so please visit the SASI blog to see it and play along. Here's the card I created:
I used Taylored Expressions' For the Love of Cupcakes set and stamped it with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto TE Choice Buttercream cardstock and colored with Copic markers BG11, BG72, R83, R85, E33, E57 and W2. The image was die cut with Mega Rectangle Nestabilities; the rose and cherry were colored, glittered with Star Dust Stickles, cut out separately and added with foam tape. The center cupcake's frosting is pink liquid pearls, sprinkled with transparent glitter -- yummo!
I then matted the image with teal cardstock and layered that over the Fancy Tags die cut (which I cut in half and taped in place to each end of the focal image). The patterned paper is by October Afternoon (Weathervane-Chilly Mornings, both sides). The centers of the flowers were a gold color, which just wasn't working with my teal, pink and brown theme so I added Cotton Candy (pink) Stickles to each gold dot!
An aqua satin hanger/bow finishes this card. Can you guess what style my challenge is? Hint: One of my favorites! :D I hope you'll play along!
