Cupcake!

Happy Monday to everyone! So how was your weekend, did you all get out in the beautiful Autumn sunshine or did you stay inside and hibernate in the craft room? I unfortunately, did not get to do too much of either as it was my weekend on to work..but I can honestly tell you that I will certainly be doing that this weekend.

Today, I wanted to share a card that I created using Jane's Doodles..I created this card using her fun Jane's Bakery stamp set...I love using this sweet set, so many possibilities.

Before, I jump into how I created this card, I wanted to give you all a heads up to jump over to Jane's blog as she has created the most gorgeous and cute Fairy called Klara, Jane has asked that if you wish to purchase this cutie of an image, you can jump over HERE...and the proceeds will go to this wonderful cause, so I hope that you can all support this by purchasing this little sweetie, other then that it will be available at Squiggly Fly.

I took white card stock, trimmed to size and stamped the cupcake from the stamp set, colouring the image in with my Copics, adding shading around the cupcake to give it some grounding. I adhered this to a piece of blue card stock and then onto some October Afternoon patterned paper that had a stitching feature around the edge, I then adhered this to a trimmed Kraft card. Adding, the sentiment that was contained in this set to the base of the card and finally, adding a dusting of Frost White ink to the edge of the card and Glossy Accents to the cherry on top of the cupcake to complete.

Here is a close up of the card.
