One of Luke's beloved teachers just had a birthday and we needed a special card.
It was inspired be this card by jaydekay. It's not as pretty as hers, but it did the trick. Jaydekay, aka Judy, was named Queen for the Day last Friday. It was so much fun to browse her gallery.
I should have done a closeup of the cupcakes. I used Shimmer Paint tinted with re-inkers to do the icing. It gives it a nice shimmery look like real icing. The white icing looks pretty gray in this picture. I'm glad it didn't look that way IRL.
All supplies Stampin' Up!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, So Happy for You
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Cherry Cobbler, SU Markers (More Mustard, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Rose Red)
Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Frost White Shimmer Paint, Re-inkers (Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink), Mini Brads
I'm so glad you stopped in.
Enjoy!
