I made this card for 2 challenges:
TracyÂ’s (http://eatsleepstamp.typepad.com/) Sketchy Thursday, and
JennieÂ’s Stamp of the Week Challenge on the Addicts site. This week, one of the challenges was to use the A Muse Party Time Clear set. I stamped the cupcake holder, then stamped and cut out each little cupcake in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I added a layer of cardstock behind each cupcake so as to give it dimension, but not as much as a pop-up foam dimensional. I used Liquid Applique for the cupcake icing and bling for the cupcake topper. I like how the Liquid Applique gives the icing an enamel like finish....almost as if I had bought enamel card charms (note to self...enlarge on idea). For the cupcake beside the sentiment, I added Liquid Applique, then sprinkled ultrafine transparent glitter on the Liquid Applique before it dried. The main image is popped up on foam dimensionals.
Thanks for the inspiration, Tracy and Jennie!
