Winter Wishes

It's time for another challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations!! 

I hope you'll come over and join us. 

We are sponsored this week by My Creative Time !

My Creative Time is generously providing a prize to our randomly chosen winner.

Thanks so much for sponsoring our challenge, My Creative Time!

Each challenge, we give you an inspiration cupcake and you make a card or other craft project that is inspired by the cupcake.  

Here is this week's cupcake...

I used an image from Saturated Canary called 'Nikki' and I colored her up with my Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers. I added a little shine with a gel pen on her blades. I want to add Glossy Accents where the shadows are to act like ice but I don't want to mess up my image. :) I matted the image on Stampin' Up's Basic Gray card stock. The sentiment is inked up with same ink. (And pressed too hard and messed up but oh well.)

I haven't put a sentiment inside yet, as my daughter wants to send this to her new pen-pal and I was thinking it would be a birthday card. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

This week our challenge is to CELEBRATE! (can be ANY celebration).

Happy 4th! Cupcakes from William Sonoma

I got to get creative with the And Then Some set. So freakin' adorable. 

I started with my colors because I knew I wanted to go with red, white, and blue since Fourth of July is this week. The card is leaning towards nautical but I'm really into that right now so I'm not surprised. :) This card could really be celebrating anything with this perfect sentiment but I think it will make it's way to my husband for our anniversary on the 12th. 

I stamped all my images in Versamark and embossed them in Sterling Silver powder from Stampin' Up. My card base is Real Red and I created my on stripes with white. The blue is Night of Navy (this has to be one of my absolute favorites right now).

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
