Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55

This card is for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55. This was a challenge for me! Don't usually have to cut that many straight lines! :-) At first I thought I didn't like the card at all but then I added the embossed swirly and the ribbon and this really seemed to bring the card together for me. The plain paper is the Perfect Match paper from Papertrey in Aqua Mist. The patterned paper is "Let it Bloom" from Black Market. Ribbon is Ocean Tides from Papertrey. Sentiment is from Hero Arts stamped with Ocean Tides and the Swirly is from Stampabilities embossed in Whiskers Seafoam White. And, as a final touch the little robin eggs!

This week I also decorated a couple of cute photo boxes for wallets for seniors...but I let those go out the door before I took a picture. :-(

Be creative!

TECC #50

I spent a lot of time trying to find three small things that would go together for this card for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge - http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/. I needed a birthday card for my cousin, so by adding a happy birthday to the inside, I am set....which is good as her b'day is tomorrow! Paper is from Black Market, Let it Bloom 6x6 pad. Large cupcake is from a Stampin Up set, "Birthday Best." I colored it with copics and used a combination of stickles and pick glitter for frosting. The small cupcake is from a clear set from Impression Obsession.
