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!!!

I think I've been hiding in the "it's the last two weeks of school and things are going crazy" hole as I've missed a bunch of your posts! LOVE the way you layered that border punch -- you are an enabler extrodinaire....I've had my eye on it for some time and think I am going to have to get it now. Fun colours and a great card!
