Hello lovely friends; sorry my post is a little late today. It's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge. We are now on Week 4 which means Lori is our hostess and our theme as always is 'All Occasions', so come and join in the fun with us.
As it's All Occasions you can make whatever you like. I always seem to need birthday cards so that is what I made but you can do anniversary, get well, thinking of you, back to school, whatever you want. I had a sketch in mind when I made my card and I think it turned out really cute. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A close up of the images:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by stamping the cupcakes onto alcohol marker friendly card before colouring them with Promarkers and using the matching dies to cut them out. I took a white card panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using a circle stencil ink blended some sea glass ink to create 3 interlinked circles. I stamped 3 'happy' words so that they overlapped the circles slightly using black ink. I then added the cupcakes with foam squares. I stamped, white heat embossed and die cut my birthday sentiment and also added that with foam squares. For a finishing touch I added some black dots randomly around my cupcakes using a memento marker pen. I added the panel on the card base with foam tape. For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and ink blended one circle using the stencil in the bottom left corner. I added another cupcake with liquid glue over the circle and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink. I managed to get some ink above the sentiment so to camouflage it I added a few more black dots with the memento pen. The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape. Another CAS card today but I think it's perfect for a birthday.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

You actually made me hungry for cupcakes, not store bought, but homemade. I think these are better for me. Great design too. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our August Challenge to either dry or wet emboss.
