Thank You Cupcake Inspirations!

I'm so excited to share this news with you! I have been selected to be part of the Cupcake Inspirations Design Team. I am thrilled to be part of this group of talented ladies. Today is my first day designing with them. I hope you'll join me and play along!


Here is the inspiration photo. Too cute! This challenge is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps. The cupcakes are from Nice Icing.


Here are the DEEtails:

When I saw this fabulous cupcake tree, my eyes were immediately drawn to the little owl cupcake in the center. I decided to replicate him using my 2 step Owl punch using Concord Crush, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, and Melon Mambo card stocks. I cut out an Old Olive Tree and Chocolate Chip Trunk. For my card base, I used Bermuda Bay and stamped the sentiment from Spring Solitude randomly with VersaMark ink. I used VeraMark again to stamp the Woodgrain pattern on Daffodil Delight card stock and embossed it and added an Old Olive scalloped border. I adhered my tree and owl with Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I added some flowers using my Itty Bitty Shapes punch and scattered them along the ground.

Thanks for peeking in! And be sure to join in at Cupcake Inspirations!
