Cupcake Challenge #15

Sorry I'm late to the celebration, but HAPPY CUPCAKE DAY anyway! This week has been absolutely crazy and hectic and left little time for blogging, but I sincerely appreciate each one of you who stops by here to check on me! Once again I must be brief, but I have another sketch for you to try this weekend. I want to challenge you to get out your patterned papers (or stamp several patterns yourself!) for this sketch. I found several coordinating sheets of SEI patterned paper in my stash along with an image that I had previously colored with my Prismacolor pencils to match. Since the image was already colored, this card came together in a flash. I decided to layer a little bit of Copic marker on the already colored image... I just couldn't help myself! The image and sentiment are from Lockhart Stamp Company. I added heart shaped adhesive rhinestones for the cherries and Swarovski crystals in each scallop. I picked up the ribbon at my local scrapbook store. I put scallops on the sketch, but any sort of border behind the image will suffice... get creative! You're not required to use cupcakes for the challenge, but if you got 'em why not use 'em!? :) If you're uploading to Splitcoast use keyword TECC15 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 15). Leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog post or gallery upload so I can check it out! I will draw one random entry from among all the participants to receive the Stampendous Totally Tabs acrylic stamp set pictured on the left! You must have your cards uploaded by Monday, May 12th at 8am PST to be eligible for the prize drawing. I can't wait to see what you come up with! And stay tuned tonight at 9pm PST when I'll be showing a little sneak peek with one of the new sets from Papertrey Ink! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend remembering and celebrating your mother!

Hi Taylor, here's my take on your challenge, which was fun! Loved going through all my papers (found a bunch I completely forgot I had), the hard part was choosing which color theme I felt like working with.

No cupcakes for you was totally a reference to Seinfeld's Soup Nazi.
