Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #112 and DT Call

Edit:  OMGoodness, I forgot to include the information about the DT call we're having.  The call will be open until June 1st and the new sweeties will be chosen and notified by June 7th.  For all the details, please head over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog.  Good LUCK!!

Happy Monday my friends!  How's that for an oxymoron!!  I hope you had a happy weekend.  I did... mostly!  Didn't feel well Saturday evening, but it was short-lived so no worries.  Yay!!  Today I'm going to share my Cupcake Inspirations Challenge card for this week.  As always, the cupcake photo is just fabulous and it was fun deciding what to create.  Here's what I came up with...


Wonderful image, right?  Of course, it's a Lili of the Valley stamp called Rosie Posie.  Cute, eh?  As I've said many times before, I just love LOTV stamps.  They are all so precious!  OK... now the challenge photo...


Do you love hydrangeas?  If you do, I'm sure you love this photo and the challenge!   And great colors, right?  Pulled the pastel artist right on out of me.  Fun!


I know the layout and embellies are pretty boring.  I don't know what my problem was when finishing off this card.  I looked for a SKETCH to follow but didn't find one I really wanted to go with, so I just went simple (boring).  And then... after I'd stickled up the flowers and dots on the wrapping, I went and smudged it so there is stickles in all kinds of odd places on this card!  : )  Whoops!!  It seems like I'm always doing something!!
