I'm using Korin's wonderful sketch today to catch up on a few HYCCT challenges which I missed - this one's for Lee's Show off your Cupcakes challenge - to make a cupcake wrapper or cupcake themed notecard! A very fun challenge, especially because I got to use an image designed my sweet friend Dina! My Mom recently sent me some of SU's patterned kraft dp - it's great quality, really thick, and I used it here for the card base. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
Have you checked out the Hope You Can Cling To challenges yet? If not, you're missing out on the chance to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer at MD Anderson, and also on more than $6500 in prizes from your favorite crafty companies. There's still time to join us!

EVERY detail is exquisite, from your choice of patterned papers--so elegant and they go together SO well, to the design you've placed on the kraft paper that blends in so well, to the colors of kraft and pinks (I'd never thought of that one and love it), to the way you've used the baker's twine in such an elegant manner and tied the tag again with the elegant font (there's a them here), and last but certainly not least is your unbelievably realistic coloring.
This card is going SO fast into my favorites that it might just spin a bit! LOVELY, and I can't wait to check out your gallery, what a talented artist you are!!!
Thank you for inspiring me, this is so clean and elegant--you've allowed your own artistry to really stand out, and such artistry is a TREAT to see! I've learned so much from this card, and really appreciate it.
