Cupcakes, Cake, and Coffee Cups!

Say that ten times fast! LOL!

I'm back today with some more yummy entries!

First we have this card that was created by Mim:

Mim says:

"I started with the plaid background stamp (Darkroom Door) using Tim Holtz Distress Stain (Fired Brick) and then stamped the cupcake (Basic Grey) in Distress Inks (peeled Paint and Scattered Straw). I used a blender pen to add a little more depth to the cake and also added a line from a Faber Castell marker pen across the top edge of the table to ground the cupcake a little more. I used a touch of glossy accents on the icing and stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink (Faded Jeans). To finish off, I drew a few cheeky little ants marching along towards the cupcake - all the more reason to eat dessert first eh?!".

Great work Mim!

Next we have this card that was created by Lizzy Hill:

Lizzy says:

"I went for the Vintage look. Lots of brown, green, and charcoal distress inks, lots of sponging, cut up an old book & added the gesso after I'd stamped the background. Layered on the sentiment [charcoal ink], which is a Stampin' Up stamp, & cake [brown ink - stamp from K-Mart, I think!], then distressed my photos [taken when we were in Paris drinking coffee last year - sigh!] & added green & brown ink around the edges. Found a button that matched [a miracle!]. The background flourish stamp I've had for ages, can't remember who it's by.... sorry! Oh - & I've embossed a little, too, with a mix of gold & black powder, to add some 'light' to the card".

Gorgeous work Lizzy!

Well that's it from me for today! Keep those entries coming!
