Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #116

Good Sunday morning my friends.  I hope your day started bright and shiny and continues that way.  Another Sunday?  FABulous... that means another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.  WooHOO!  I think you're gonna love this week's cuppies.  But I say that every week, don't I?  : )  Let's get started, 'K?  Here's how this week's cupcakes inspired me...


Isn't this a fun card?  It sure was fun to make!!  I think this is the first time I've gotten to try paper piecing with digis.  I've been printing the images at work (using my own papers).  It's later when I think it sure would be nice to paper piece this or that.  But after all the resizing, I'm not confident about going back getting the same size.  So this time I printed them at the same time.  Really works swift when you use your brain!!!  Now... let's look at our inspiration for this challenge...


I just think these are wonderful!  Soooo summery with their leaves, ladybugs, daisies and mushrooms.  And I love the colors.  Wouldn't you like to try your hand at these babies??  Come on... I can't wait to see what you come up with.


Our sponsor this week is Amber Ink.  One lucky winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to their store!  WoW!!  They provided the DT with some images to use and I just loved this Mushroom Border image.  And that Love Bug sentiment is just darling too.    As you can see, I've added plenty of little ladybugs to my card.  Probably too many, but I just love those little things.  The daisy ended up having to go there.  I tried my hand at just adding some little dot daisies with my Signo white pen and lemon yellow liquid pearls for the center.  Well... as you can guess, I didn't like it.  So I took them off... or tried to.  the centers scraped off easy enough and normall I can remove the white inks with a wet tissue.  But, this doesn't work as well when you're doing it on the chalk inks!  I tried a few things to 'fix' it, but it just got worse!  So, as I said, the daisy had to go there!  : )
