A Delicious Day!

Happy Thursday! Today's preview is of the set Cupcake Occasions by Cookie Crumbs, illustrated by Diane Zechman. Cupcakes are all the rage right now, and this set is full of adorable cupcake toppers for any occasion or season! Seriously, they are SO cute! I used this week's SCS Sketch Challenge 201 for my layout.

I wanted to play with all the images in the set, but I needed a birthday card for my niece, so I used this fun swirly frosting image for my cupcake top. First I stamped the candles, frosting and bottom on the cardstock. Then I stamped the frosting and bottom again on the patterned paper and cut them out. I colored the candles with Copics and sponged a "glow" around them with SU! YoYo Yellow ink. Then I attached the cut out pieces, mounting the frosting on dimensionals. I added some Stickles to the candle flames for a little sparkle.

Perhaps the best part of this card is the way it SMELLS! I brushed Cupcake Card Scents on the cupcake image, and it smells like it just came out of the oven! YUM! :)

Go to the ATS Blog to see some other samples of this set and to see how you can win it! I'll have another set to show you tomorrow -- it's definitely a busy preview week! Thanks for stopping by today -- have a wonderful day! :)
