I made this little card for Cindy's weekly tea party. This week we are back to yummy cupcakes and decadent cake instead of the healthy veggie snacks we had last week! Check out the party here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2009/...uesday-43.html
I know I am late and in fact, I didn't think I'd be able to make it this week because I don't have a single cupcake stamp (GASP!) or even a tea cup or slice of cake. And I'm not as resourceful as MariLynn to create something on my own. But I couldn't miss this party because it's Sabrina's birthday and I heard she was coming all the way from Ireland for the tea party!
I dug through every stamp set I own and finally came across this itsy bitsy little cupcake stamp. Yay! Since it was so small, I decided to make an ATC! Not very artistic, but the dimensions worked!
I stamped the tiny cupcake 6 times with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored them first with Sakura 3D Glaze pens, then highlighted with Spica glitter pens and Stickles. Cut them all out and popped them up on mini Pop-Dots. The cake dish was cut with a scallop oval Nestie. That is popped up, too. Stamped my sentiment in Rose Red and added blue polka dot ribbon to finish it!
Thanks for still letting me in even though I'm late! Happy Birthday, Sabrina! These little cupcakes are for you!
TFL!

Don't think we have ever had an ATC at our tea party. Aren't you a creative person. The cupcakes look so nice on the pretty yellow plate. The sentiment is perfect. Cupcakes are so much better than cabbage at a tea party I think.

Carla, these cupcakes are so cute. And I thought I had tiny cupcakes. I love the top view of the cake platter. I love all the sparkle on your cupcakes.

You go girl! Its amazing what you can do when you just WANT TO!! Hee! I hope your stamping room is not all turned upside down and clobbered from looking high and low! I know how little this stamp is, I just used it on another project and wow, you did good! I just love their sparkleyness! It actually does look like a full sized stamp on your little ATC! Me thinks ATC stands for Another Teapot Challenge! Snort!
The blue and white polka dotted ribbon is perfect! How wonderful for Sabrina! I am glad you could come too. Ireland is like forever away! Ooh...that makes me think of Far and Away and Tom and Nicole, that was Ireland wasn't it??? Okay off on a tangent! Sorry!
Thanks so much for coming and making Sabrina's birthday so special with this adorable little card! It rocks and so do you!

So sweet ATC. You did good Carla! I love the little tiny winny cupcakes and the sparkle on them too. I'm being good this week, I won't even try to take a cupcake from you. TFS

Carla, your sparkly cupcakes look so yummy. I don't like large cupcakes anyway, just a bite to satisfy my craving. Love your card. Glad you were able to find this stamp and make it to the party. TFS :0)

I am so glad you found this little stamp. I think I have it too. I have a little SU stamp like this. Your spica is so sparkly. I am loving them more and more. I am practicing with my copics but it is a learning curve I have not learned. LOL. Super job. Send me some WARM nonwindy weather okay...

:-) You've still got one more cupcake stamp than I do. But it really must be teensty!! That scallop makes such a perfect plate and the little sparkly cupcakes are just dinky. You must have used the glittery food-colouring powders that I sometimes use for cake decorating.
