Cupcake card

Hello friends; I hope your Monday is going well and you had a brilliant weekend, although the weather here was decidedly un-summery!  Apologies for the long gap between posts but I'm back with a yummy cupcake card for you today.

Here is my card:

here is a close up of the cupcakes:

I needed a quick card for a friends birthday and already had this cupcake image stamped out so I coloured it with my promarkers.  I softly ink blended the background and then used a dotty stencil over top for some extra interest (I used the same purple ink but used a heavier hand for the stencilling).  I added the cupcake image with foam pads and then simply stamped a sentiment below in black ink.  I also added the panel to my card base with foam tape.  Just a few pearls to embellish and my clean-ish and simple card was done.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

MFT - sketch challenge #656

Krafty Chicks challenge - all occasion

Inkspirational challenge - use stencils

Seize the birthday challenge - inspired by a book (I saw this book on Amazon called 'cupcake celebration'.  I took my colours from the front cover image.) 

Addicted to Stamps and More challenge - make your mark (I coloured with alcohol markers)

Enjoy the rest of your day and thanks so much for stopping by.  

I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for the AAA birthday challenge so perhaps you could pop back and check it out. 

Love and hugs,
