Celebrate!

Hello friends.  It's Thursday and we have a new challenge for you over at the Meljen's Designs Challenges and Inspiration Blog.  This week our lovely Di has designed a sketch for us to follow.


I used Patriotic Cupcake on my card.  I thought this would be the perfect image for a patriotic card!  I paper-pieced the cupcake wrapper.  I used my copics and colored pencils and added some Fluffy Stuff for the icing on my cupcake.  I used some Glamour Dust on my stars and the sparklers.


This is Melissa's latest release and you can find these yummy sweet treats, along with the rest of Melissa's images, over at Whimsy Stamps.  Please stop by the Meljen's Designs Challenges and Inspiration Blog to see what those talented ladies have created with these delicious images!  I hope you find time to play along in our sketch challenge this week.

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.

    This is a really great example of a red, white & blue & v. effective. Fab embellies especially that corner with the button on, really sets the whole thing off, also the icing on the cake is just outstanding & extreemly edible looking, licking my lips as we speak!
    Thanks for playing at Card-Makin Mamas & good luck & hope to see you again here.
