My card was inspired by several interesting challenges this week. The layout is based on a rotated
sketch from
Mojo Monday. The
Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge is celebrating its 3rd year, so the challenge is to
create something birthday related. Two separate challenges. want to see something inspired by cake.
Our Daily Bread Designs' challenge is
inspired by cake and
MFP Inspirations' challenge is
luscious cakes. The inspiration images are below.
MFP Simple Salutations wants to see
cards for men.( Yes, my card has lots of pink, but I think the tone of the pink and the card treatment are quite appropriate for a man). The
Kraft Journal challenge is
tie it up.
My card features the pink, white, and animal print of these two cakes. The base card is kraft cardstock. The horizontal panel and cupcake wrapper are cut from animal print. The rest of the cupcake is colored with distress markers. Distress markers also highlight the sentiment. I added a little Viva Decor glitter line to the frosting for a little dimension. The stamp is from the Tim Holtz collection. The background is a piece of pink core'dinations paper which was double embossed (Cuttlebug folders) and sanded. Since this was a man's card, I added the string bow (dyed with spun sugar distress stain) instead of a flower.
