Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #17...

We are each of us in this world an angel with only one wing. In order to fly we must embrace each other. -Cassandra Reed
I'm back with some Sweet Inspiration! This week's cupcake is brought to us by DeliciousDelights via Flickr...and they are Delicious and Delightful for sure!!

I love the super bright hues paired with chocolate and the flowers on the cuppies are spot on for us paper crafters, they look so much like so many punches and flowers available to us!!

Here is what I created, I was inspired by the bright colors, the brown of the dark chocolate cupcake and the flowers. I used Fly Away by The Greeting Farm, I have been Itching to ink this baby up...I LOVE it!!!

I masked the balloon and added the clouds, after coloring the balloon with the Bright colors (when Copic says Shock Pink, they mean SHOCK Pink) I added some stickles, then outlined the clouds with a Sakura Stardust Pen (there Is a silver lining in those clouds!!) The layout is the sketch from Eat Sleep Stamp this week...

I used sentiment from the new Butterfly Wishes set for the inside, I thought it worked Perfectly with this image after I omitted the butterfly that is also on the stamp...Supplies:
Stamps: Fly Away & Butterfly Wishes (The Greeting Farm
Paper: Dark Chocolate & White CS (PTI,) Lemonade (Basic Grey)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento,) Copic Markers, White Craft Ink
Misc: Stardust Stickles, Pearl Dots, Felt Flowers Cozy and Cool, Polka Dot Ribbon, Sakura Stardust Pen
