Well, here is one of several cards that I’ve been working on lately.  I really thought the idea for this card was better than the way it turned out.  Doesn’t everything look better in your head? 

I used Whisper White card stock for the base.  Next I stamped the big cupcake from “Crazy for Cupcakes” in the center.  Then I made a mask and stamped again on either side of the center, made some more masks and stamped the cupcake until I reached the edge of the card.

After that, I pulled out some retired DSP “East Coast Prep” and stamped the cupcake bottoms on different patterns.  I cut out the bottom of each cupcake and pieced it together on the card.  For the candles, I created a reverse mask and sponged in Wild Wasabi ink to fill in the candles.

Finally, for the sprinkles, I wanted something with a little dimension, so I used some fabric puffy paint.  I’m not sure what I think of it.  It didn’t puff up quite as much as I was hoping for.  Maybe some stickles would have worked better.

Oh, well.  Mental note for next time.    Thanks for checking in!

Happy Stamping!
