Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #20...

Do you have your sweet tooth handy??? It's Sunday, so that means Cupcake Time!!! This week's Cupcake is a Stunning Creation by Creative Cupcakes! I know a lot of stampers have a hard time with Purple, so this week is a True challenge for some of us...but I Dare You! I Double Dog Dare you to try it! :) Cupcake stamps are Not required...and actually neither is purple...take your inspiration where it comes...if it is the butterflies or the roses or the metallic cupcake liner, go with it!

I went with the purple and the roses for my card and actually used a Cupcake this week! The layout is this week's Mojo Monday sketch and I went a little overboard on the "Stuff," I call this the Purple Embellishment Eater! :D

I used one of the new Inkadinkado $1.99 sets, Cupcake and Basic Grey Wisteria paper. I added Pearl Dots, Jewel Stickers, Dew Drops and Stardust Stickles all over...I even added stickles to the violet roses! The swirl is outlined with a Sakura Stardust Gel Pen and I even added a stickles frame around the image panel...

I added more paper and a glittered up Felt flower to the inside...

Supplies:
Stamps: Cupcake (Inkadinkado,) Swirly Greetings (Elzybells)
Paper: Wisteria (Basic Grey,) Purple CS (Bazzil,) White CS (PTI)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento,) Copic Markers, Purple Mettalic Chalk (Colorbox)
Misc: Martha Stewart Branch Punch, Pearl Dots, Jewel Stickers, Felt Flowers, Violet Roses, Stardust Stickles, Stardust Gel Pen, Dew Drops


I am super excited this week to Welcome a Guest Sweetie to the Challenge...Maureen of My C.A.S.E. Studies has been on my radar for awhile now and I am so pleased that she accepted my invitation to join us!!! Here is a little peek of what Maureen created for us...

  4. Wow! You were not messing around with your purple embellishment eater card! LOL! I do LOVE it though! There are you so many pretty details added to it and love how you added some more "flair" to the inside as well! Great job with that Mojo Sketch too...I am puzzled on that one.
