WCMDCC08, Frightful Cupcake

Photo Details
Poster: happy2stamp4ever

 WHEW!!! I tell ya, this challenge really stretched me!! The last of the World Cardmaking Challenges was a color challenge. See here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=387560

AACK! I call this "Frightful Cupcake" for a few reasons...heh heh...because the colors to me look "Halloweenish", and because it was hard for me to use all these colors! ;-) I'm not one that normally reaches for bright colors, so this was a great challenge for me!

We had to use Lemon, Lime, Orange, Dark Gray, Black, and neutral cream. I used watercolor paper, which I feel is not white, it is creamy (sometimes I wish I had a more "white" watercolor paper!)
I put the clear chunky glitter on the green sprinkles to tone them down a bit.

Well, what do you think?

Simple and direct. Any kid would love this card. Mine would probably try to eat it.
