Happy Birthday Cupcake...

Nightie night all. Didn't realize how late it was, time to head for the bed. Before I do however, I'll post a real quickie (I think).

Lately I've noticed birthdays are popping up all around us. I love just going through my stash of cards and pulling one out. But...this last time, I had none. None for "boys", that is. I don't know about you all but, I have the hardest time creating "boy" cards. It's sooooo easy for me, when it comes to girls but boys...YIKES! So, I took a shot at it and this is what I came up with.
Okay, well...let's say, I'm gettin' closer (lol). At least with these colors this card can be given to either gender. Anyhow, making this card was fun. I used the set "Cupcakes" from Hero Arts. The cupcake, candles, and sentiments are all part of this fun set. I loved it. As a matter of fact, the buttons are too, from Hero Arts. As for the DS paper, it's part of a premium pad from DCWV and the markers used for coloring are SU!
To add a little pazazz...I paper pieced the paper cup, completely covered the orange frosting with lacquer glass, and used some colored glass beads as the sprinkles on the cupcake. Once the lacquer and beads set in, IRL, it's really pretty. I finished it by adding some pop dots behind the image, elevating it. As for the candles, to give it some glare, I added stickles to each one, flame and all.
Here's the side view from another angle.
This is the inner part of the card. Again the sentiment and candles are both from this cupcake set.

Okay, that's it for now. Thank you, thank you, thank you for popping in. I will see you tomorrow. Till then have a very blessed evening. Aloha and God bless~

Little C's Weekly Challenge...Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday! It's color time again. Yep, this week's "LCWC" is a color combo. Check out the beautiful set of colors we DT's were challenged with.

For this challenge and the purpose of this card, I chose to use an "Anya" image. I think, they are just so adorable. I applied purple stickles to her crown and frosted stickles to her wand. The DS paper, Maroon CS, and sentiment are all of SU! and the vanilla CS is unknown (sorry). Designer brads and prima flowers were purchased from my favorite online store =)...Little C's. I also used the oval nesties and cricut's "Accent Essentials" cartridge.

For more inspiration, check out the rest of the DT's fabulous work then...come and play! Have fun and can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks a bunch for stopping by. I hope you were blessed, as much as I have been blessed by you. Aloha and God Bless!

Little C's Weekly Challenge~ Sketch Challenge

Happy, happy, happy to share with you all, our very first Little C's Challenge, for this new year. But before I do, please join in and welcome the new designers for Little C's : Maria, MacKenzie, Heidi , Jen C, Jackie, & Margie (Guest Diva)

Our first challenge starts off with a sketch challenge, created by Maria . Each week, we'll be alternating between a sketch and a color combo challenge. We hope to inspire you to come along and play with us. Little C's will then select one lucky person at the end of the week, to receive a very special something, as a prize.

For this challenge, the image I chose to use was Whiff of Joy's "Angel Hugging Heart", which can be purchased from yours truly...Little C's. Their angels are so adorable, it was kinda hard to select. But I did, and this is what I came up with. Here I used TAC's DS paper, CB's Embossing folder "Dots", SU Markers, and ALL Natural Accents from of course Little C's. Here's a closer shot of the "All Natural Accents" leaves and hibiscus. I love working with these. They are very versatile.

For more details on the challenge, please be sure to stop by to visit Little C's blog and while there, check out the great work by the rest of our designers. Also, Jen has a great Valentine Special going on right now. Catch the deal before it ends.

Well as always...I appreciate you stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Thank you so much!
