Shimmer Cupcake

I was thrilled when Rachel emailed me to be one of her Guest Sweeties for her Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. She hosts it every Sunday. I've been playing for a few months and have had a wonderful time making cards from her photographs of cupcakes that she gives for inspiration. You should check it out, if you haven't yet, and play along. I promise you'll enjoy it and not gain a pound with the lovely cupcakes you'll be drooling over!

When I saw the challenge this week, I just knew I wanted to use this cupcake set from Inkadinkado, which she carries in her store. How cute is that cupcake?!

I couldn't make up my mind which way to go on the cupcake. One hand I loved the color combo, and the simple look of the cupcakes. On the other hand, I was digging the cherry on top, and wanted to use some paper that had cherries in it.

This card is made with the color combo of the cupcakes. You might still get to see a card with some cherry paper! I used my cuttlebug to dry emboss the top of my card, like how the frosting is on the cupcakes. I used my Sakara Gelly Roll Stardust pen to color the top of my cupcake and to add more bling around the swirls. I had sprayed the white sheet with Glimmer mist before I embossed it. I cut everything out with my nesties, and layer it up. Than I added more bling around my cupcake. I liked how the swirls were on this Zva Create set. I thought the swirls would added a perfect touch of bling to the corners of the base nestie. Than I added the single gems around my scallop, and on parts of my cupcake, and sentiment. I love how the gems look!

Thanks for asking me to be a Guest Sweetie, Rachel and Michelle! I had a great time playing! Make sure you check out the Sweeties to see what they made!
