I recently purchased a couple new stamp sets that featured cupcakes. Once I got going on the cards, I ended up pulling out some old cupcake and sentiment stamps and dies as well. The first two cards for today are for the current CAS-ology Challenge: Three.
And I'm also linking the first one to Virginia's View new challenge: Patterned Paper.
This card combines an old stamp colored with Copic markers by Lockhart with a new sentiment from Mama Elephant's "Carnival Toppers." The patterned papers are both from the "Color Wash" line by Pink Paislee. In several photos, the Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter pen shows up as a dirty gray. Not so in real life as you can see in the close up.
The next card is my favorite. I purchased the Savvy "Cupcake Set" nearly a year ago, and have yet to pull it out. It took me awhile to find the coordinating die, "Cake Plates," but there's really no excuse for waiting so long. I'm quite sure it won't be a year before I pull them out again.
I die cut the plate from a piece of Paper Source gold cardstock, and the cupcake papers from a sheet of orange vellum. I have no idea where I picked that up! The cupcakes and cherries were die cut from scraps in my scrap pile. I added some Dark Chocolate Ink to the top of the three cupcakes. The sentiment is an old one from Lockhart stamps that I bought at the same time I purchased the three cupcakes stamp for the first card.
I love those cupcake paper dies! Hope you're having a cupcake kind of day!
