BBTB2 Celebrations Cupcake

It's the last Sunday of the month and that means it's time for another BBTB2 Blog Hop. Not only is it Blog Hop time but we have a great chance for you to win a wonderful prize donated by the super talented ladies at Holidays with the Cricut. They are giving us a Sweethearts cartridge and a pack of SEI (Happy Day) paper to give away. How do you win? By signing up to follow the BBTB2 Blog and leaving a comment. You should have arrived here from the blog of the incredibly talented Enfys. How yummy did her cupcake look? If you just happened upon my site today you will want to start at the beginning of the hop at BBTB2. This week's BBTB2 challenge is to use the cupcake cut from the Celebrations cartridge on page 101 or the cupcake cut from Doodlecharms on page 108 . My patterned paper is from DCWV kitchen stack. My base card is a standard A2 card from white cardstock. I cut my cupcake from Celebrations at 3" from dark brown cardstock and again from green cardstock that I ran through my cuttlebug in the Swiss dot folder. I layered the green with some pop dots. I added a small piece of lace under the frosting and a large pearl "cherry" on top along with a little Stickles around the edge. I used my Sakura 3-D glaze pen to add some white highlights to the bottom chocolate cupcake. I distressed the edges of the green background paper and did a little sanding to make the white dots more noticable. Then I added some zigzag stitching for a little interest.

My circle sentiment is from the All About Cupcakes set at The Cutting Cafe. I tell you, Regina has a sentiment for just about anything and I love them. I use her digi stamps on almost every card I make. I colored the little cupcake in the middle with Copics and added a little green glitter to the frosting. I placed it atop a scalloped circle I cut with the Mini Monograms cartridge. A little ribbon around the flower patterned paper to finish the card off. Now you should be off to visit Donna's blog to finish off the hop. Wait until you see her gorgeous cupcake creation. You'll love it. Please remember to leave a comment and sign up to follow my blog to be eligible for your chance to win this set of Easter note cards and envelopes which store inside the cute little pink purse cut from the Forever Young cartridge.

Thanks for visiting and have a very wonderful and creative week. Don't forget to sign up to follow and comment on the BBTB2 site for your chance to win that wonderful cartridge and paper prize pack .
