Cupcakes...yum!

Two days of posting- go me!

I made this card last night for the current Playdate Cafe Challenge. I really love the color combination.  I have been wanting to use my new Hero Arts background stamp so this was a good opportunity.  I also have a few birthdays coming up and thought I should stock pile some cards.

This cupcake set is one of my favorites to use. I colored the bases and 'toppings' with Distress Inks.

If anyone knows of a good video tutorial (or can clearly explain) good ways to tie bows I would really appreciate it.  This is definitely something I struggle with! I've been trying to use my supplies, and I love ribbon, so it would be nice to be able to create beautiful bows. It would also come in handy for gift wrapping.

  1. I really like that colour combination too and that background stamp is just perfect with the cupcakes.

    For bow tying, I highly recommend Dawn McVey's video. I don't think this link works but you can google it:

  7. I also wanted to say but forgot until I looked at your card again just now that your ribbon is lovely and I wish I could tie mine as well as yours ;)

  8. Love this card! I like the way that the cupcakes jump out in front of the B&W text background.
