Okay, I'm struggling with these simple cards. I must get back to my more detailed ones. They seem to suit me better, but I like to try new things sometimes! These are not my colors, but this is what I saw when I looked at these cupcakes for the inspiration challenge:
The first thing I thought of was that the cupcakes looked like the Trendy Tree stamps I just finally got. So, I picked up on the bright colors or yellow, green and orange, paired with brown for the chocolate! I tried so many different ribbons and nothing worked, so I settled for this. It's not my favorite, but hope it at least captures the inspiration piece.
The tree tops are are all shiny with crystal effects, but it doesn't show up on the photo too well.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a quick moment, let me know what you think!!! Be kind . . . I worked early into the a.m. to complete this thing I started early evening, so I'm burned out! You know the more I look at this card now, it is kind of growing on me. Go figure!!!

This is so wonderful, Pam! I love the images, the colors and your fab layout. The double punched border and cb bg are perfect. You've really had some amazing art lately. Love it!

Hey there, Pam! You must have been working on this all night. I didnt see it in the gallery last night and I shut down about 12:30. Let me just tell you, girl, your efforts wont go unnoticed. This is a wonderful card. I dont do those colors either, but I really can appreciate the pizazz it brings to a card. The colors are unusual, and that's what makes it even more special. You done good, girl.
