Cupcakes ......

I have been busy making some cards for a lady who has just opened a new cake decorating shop, she has some beautiful accessories for cupcakes too!!  I took Lucy along so we could get more supplies for her favourite treat.

This card is made using Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, coloured with markers and a blender pen.  The colours are Close to Cocoa, Sahara Sand and Bashful Blue, I added a couple of tags from the Tiny Tags stamp set - 20%off until 31st August - tied with linen thread.  A puched star doodled with a button from the Latte collection and it is finished  - nice and quick!!!

I will share some of the other cards later this week!!  Thanks for stopping by

                      

Cupcakes ......

There's nothing nicer than a pretty cupcake, so I knew I would end up buying this gorgeous Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I have used a combination of the lovely new Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Close to Cocoa, I have added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the cupcake frosting, along with crystal effects on the candle, to give it a waxy look.  The knot is tied with the lovely new Soft Suede polka dot ribbon, and the backgound is made with my favourite stamp at the moment - the beautiful Medallian stamp, which I inked with the Melon Mambo ink and stamped the corners of some Melon Mambo card. 

Today the sun has gone and it has rained, it has been a beautiful week and we have had a lovely few days away over the half term, so now I'm playing catch up again!!  Fortunately there is a teacher training day tomorrow, so an extra day off school for Lucy and Philip, hopefully the rain might go away and we can visit the local park while it will be quieter than usual, as most of the other children on our estate will be in school.  Hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sun shine while it lasted!!!
