Cupcake Challenge 30

Hello,

this week's Cupcake Craft Challenge, set by Rosette is
'Spring'

So what better stamp to use on my card than
this cute little sheep from Penny Black - Fresh New Day,
coloured with whispers pens.
The background paper is 'Swirls' from Funky Fairys
and the flowery paper is K & Co, Sparkly Sweet.

I tried to add stitching to the flowery paper by running it through
my sewing machine -
but all that twisting and turning, just made it tear.
So, I pricked holes in the paper with a needle and hand stitched
some of the flowers and stems.

Cupcake Craft Challenge 29

Over at Cupcake Craft this week,

the challenge has been set by Jilly.

You can make anything you like,
but your inspiration must come from

the picture that Jilly has chosen.

Make sure you pop by Jilly's Creations and look at her awesome work too.

Instead of making a card, I decided that today I would alter the
coffeemate can, that has been sitting on my draining board for a week.
I covered it with 'flourishes' paper, from Pink Petticoat
ribbon and blooms from my stash,
and the cute, little stamp is from the
Whiff Of Joy spring collection.

Cupcake Craft Challenge 28

Here's my entry for the great sketch over at

Cupcake Craft Challenge

This week the challenge is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe

and the DT have done a fantastic job with the

All about Cupcakes set from there.

For my card I used my new Whiff Of Joy Stamp ~

coloured with whispers pens and twinkling H2O's.

The patterned paper is from K & Company Sparkly Sweet,

and the pink check is from Papercraft4you.

The blooms are from Poppicrafts

I cut out the stamp -

nobody warned me how tricky that was going to be!

and I used foam tape to stick it onto the card.

I love the raised effect it gives you,

I guess I am going to have to practice my cutting skills.
