The inspiration for today's card
came from Cupcake Inspiration Challenge
Although you don't have to use a cupcake...
It was the first thing I saw and thought they where so pretty.
The delicate colours also caught my eye.
This is my card....
The background has been water coloured using inks and acetate.
I popped on a flower stencil and spread clear embossing paste over it to add some shine
and detail without detracting from the delicate colours.
I wanted the die cut tag to be matt so I used white gesso through the stencil this time.
It just adds a subtle detail.
The cupcake was stamped, die cut and heat embossed in silver and white puff paint.
I coloured the small roses, added some wink of stella and popped them onto the cupcake.
I wanted the background and the cupcake to shine against the matt tag.
I finished off with a Love sentiment stencil, some white opaque embossing paste,
a hint of colour and wink of stella.
Thank you so much for finding time to stop by.

My goodness Mac, the cupcakes on your card look just like the ones on the plate and you've definitely captured the delicate colours. I really like the background that you've created with the flowers and the clear embossing paste, it looks really effective. Crafty hugs, Sandra X
