I don't know about the rest of you, but I just LOVE it when I see a challenge with a theme, photo, colors, etc. that truly inspires me. When I saw this week's colors on the cupcake inspirations photo at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog, I just knew that I wanted to participate. The cupcakes are in the colors of grape, poppy and rose - beautiful! I pulled out some supplies and got busy.
I used several different products on this card. I started with a card base that I made using Buff Ivory Cardstock from The Kraft Outlet. The red and pink polka dot washi tapes are also from The Kraft Outlet. Next, I placed a grape (purple) doily that I cut using a Papertrey Ink doily die-cut from grape Bazzill. The flowers are Recollections (from Michael's), and I also used some Doodlebug glitters. The baker's twine is from The Twinery, and the "Just Because" sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.
Once you see these darling inspiration cupcakes, you will want to play along as well. I am hoping to create and share three cards (the maximum) in this challenge because I just LOVE this lovely color combination. You can read all the details of the challenge on their blog here:

You did a bang up job! I think you nailed it perfectly. I love your tapes. That's the way I layed mine out but I only had one tape that worked with my card and the inspiration photo, but yours looks so much better with the three tapes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with us at Cupcake Inspirations.
oops, I mean two tapes. I am such a numbskull at times. I usually thank people for playing and then type in the wrong challenge name.
