Here's the Cupcake

For today's card, I decided to play in the My Favorite Things guest designer challenge for this month. I hope that by playing in all these different challenges, it will help me to be more creative and sharpen up my design skills!

I combined 2 different sets to make this card. You may recognize the main image from the Here's the Scoop set. On the bottom blue couch layer, I put a bit of post-it over the ice cream container and spoon so that it wouldn't get inked and then stamped it. I then did a bunch of paper piecing and a bit of paper tole using 4 different papers from the DCWV Blossoms & Butterflies stack.

Then I took the What's Up Cupcake set and inked it up with pink for the wrapper portion. I colored the wrapper with a pink Copic, then cut off the pink line from the actual cake part and colored it in yellow. I stamped the frosting separately in brown and cut it out. I also stamped the cherry separately and cut it out. Then I layered everything together and placed it on her tummy area with the stem in her fingers, as if she's pulling it off to eat it first!

Here's a close-up shot so you can see some of the dimension. You can also see the Stickles I put on the cherry for some sparkle.

I hope you like my idea for changing up this set. You could probably put a bunch of different things in her lap, like a present that she's starting to unwrap or some other kind of dessert (and then you could leave the spoon).
