Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #21...

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. -Peter Ustinov

Happy Sunday all! I'm here again with a little Sweetness. Today's cupcakes are brought to us by Meg&Fred via Flickr.
I chose these cupcakes for Very selfish reasons...I wanted to use my Fly Away set again! :) I love this set and this Hot Air Balloon...I also LOVE Cosmo Cricket Early Bird paper, so in theory this card should ROCK...but it doesn't. :( I think I just left it too late...I should have tipped the oval More or Less, I should have used Cream paper, I should have made the sky less BLUE...but all in all it is still Cute, right?

The layout is from this week's Eat Sleep Stamp Sketch and, even though I decided Not to add the sentiment where the basket goes on the balloon, I think this card will still work for Mitzi's Greeting Card Challenge. I also added clouds inside and out for the There She Goes challenge, it's a birthday card, so that works for the Stamp Something Birthday challenge...I Think Kerry will count this for the Three Clovers challenge this week (Planes, trains and automobiles) and lets see...anymore challenges I squeezed in here, I thought I was looking at one other one when I was doing this...Oh Yeah! The Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is Travel and I don't know about you, but Hot Air Balloon sounds like The way to travel to me!

I added a sentiment from the Butterfly Wishes set to the inside, along with a Happy Birthday from a Papertrey Ink set...

Supplies:
Stamps: Fly Away, Butterfly Wishes (The Greeting Farm,) Sentiment (PTI)
Paper: Early Bird (Cosmo Cricket,) White, Black & Ocean Tides CS (PTI)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento,) Copic Markers
Misc: Stardust Stickles, Dew Drops, Stardust Gel Pen, Cream Sheer Dot Ribbon
