guest designing at cupcake inspiration

There's a fun challenge being sponsored by STAMPlorations over at Cupcake Inspirations and it's all about Pastels. Wanna see the inspiration? Yum yum.

Wanna see what I made? Yum yum.

STAMPlorations Sweet Cravings stamp

STAMPlorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangles die

alcohol inks

acetate and fun foam

white embossing powder

sequins and glitter

First off I saw those watercolory swirls and they reminded me of alcohol ink marbling I'd done with blues and purples. Then those sugar sprinkles on the cupcakes made me think of glitter. So a sweet shaker card was born.

Die cut the smaller panel from my marbled piece and stamped some sweets onto it.

I even added some Distress Ink Rock Candy glitter to a couple spots on the stamped images to ensure sparkle even if all the glitter falls to the bottom. See it on the ice cream cone, the whipped cream on the cake and peeking out from behind the sentiment on the bottom edge of the popsicle?

Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. Thanks for visiting today. I'm joining the fun at:
