Paper Sweeties is celebrating their 3rd birthday
this month and part of the celebration includes a challenge..... Paper Sweeties
Inspiration Challenge #34 - Happy Birthday!
I was inspired by everything in their inspiration photo....colors, cupcakes, and flowers.
Here is the card I made...
The background was made by running a piece of waxed paper through an embossing folder, then ironing it on a piece of cardstock. That creates a resist effect. Then I inked over it with Distress ink. The waxed resist area shows through. It's a fun technique. The cupcake is from Cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge and was colored with Spectrum Noir and accented with Stickles. This card is sweet and simple, but I think the doily and the ribbon add a touch of elegance.
