2S4Y44 - You Make Me Smile

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your Friday! :) I've got so much going on today I almost don't know which way is up... LOL Oh well, it'll all get done or it won't, right? :)

This card was created for this week's 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. I've been on a simple kick lately, but I kind of feel like maybe this is *too* simple, *too* clean? LOL, I see that wide open background and my fingers start twitching because it's just begging to be stamped! :)

Instructions:
  • Create A2 background using kraft CS.
  • Adhere pink ribbon to card base.
  • Stamp floral background on 2 5/8" square white CS, then layer onto 2 3/4" orange CS before adhering to card base.
  • Stamp sentiment in brown ink.
  • Tie bow and adhere to card base.
  • Stamp cupcake and flower images onto white CS using Memento ink and color w/Copics.
  • Apply Crystal Effects to cupcake frosting and then sprinkle with Diamond Dust.
  • Adhere cupcake and flower images to card base using pop dots, then add rhinestone to flower center.
  • Embellish with Rhinestones.

Supplies:
Stamps - Baby Button Bits, Handwritten Notes, Background Basics: Petal Power
Ink - Memento Black, Copics, Summer Sunrise, Dark Chocolate
Paper - Kraft, Summer Sunrise, Stamper's Select White
Miscellaneous - Orange Rhinestones, Diamond Dust, Crystal Effects, Raspberry Fizz Grosgrain Ribbon

  30. It's perfection! The kraft CS has the subtle texture with the fibers, so it doesn't need to be stamped. Love the cupcake.
