I received these images from Crazy for Cupcakes in Wish RAK from Catherine (lexant). They were the perfect image to use for Cindy's Tuesday Teapot challenge. I haven't had the chance to play along for months, so I made time between laundry and vacuuming to have some fun. I used last week's sketch challenge 224 for my layout.
My image is colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I put some stickles on the cherries on top of the cupcakes. The flower is made from two punches with a brad for the center.
This will be a perfect birthday card to have on hand for emergencies (that means birhtdays I've forgotten about). Thanks for taking a peek.

Mary Ann we used the same image today. I love it. I could not think of a better person to stamp with. I love your frosting. I am so glad you decided to let the dust bunnies rest and join us. This group is so fun. Great birthday card.

Mmm, love those scalloped chocolate layers in between the pink, and what lovely DP. Looks like we are having a very civilised tea-party this week, with no wildlife so far. You chose a good week to come .

Whoo Hoo! MaryAnn made it.....okay guys, try to behave, for a little while! So glad to see you here today! I love that you came to the teaparty in between laundry and vacuuming...or should I say after laundry cuz you will have so much fun, the vacuuming won't get done! Snort!
Your card is precious and look at you! Following the rules so wonderfully. Although you hang out here long enough and you will find out rules don't mean a whole lot! I love that image. Dawn used it too. And the paper is perfect with your little cupcakes! It rocks!
So glad you came! And brought this great card....great EMERGENCY card!!!

MaryAnn, I remember your chipmunk, haven't talked to you in awhile. So good to see you. Welcome to the tea party. I see you brought your 6 cupcakes. Want a slice of my cake. I just love the colors you used and the brown scalloped rectangles are perfect.
