This week's Teapot Tuesday asked us to bring cupcakes to celebrate the birthday of a deserving friend of a fellow SCSer: MMTPT168 ~ HOCUS POCUS! LET ME FOCUS! COME TO ME MY MAGIC SNAKES! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
This is a chocolate cupcake, with mint icing and a fondant butterfly atop (I think someone has been watching too much Food Network!)
I went yard-sale shopping on Saturday and at a fundraiser for a high school lacrosse team, I got a whole box of goodies for a buck --lace, rick rack, buttons and embroidered appliques. Unopened packs in a variety of colors, really an amazing haul. I used some green lace (that strip is about all of the green, unfortunately) and rickrack from that great buy on this card. I didn't have any pink gingham, but I though the dp had the same sort of feel and would be appropriate for Elsie. Paper-pieced the cupcake cup with coordinating dp.
This also qualifies for WT344, ways to use pink; and CAS140, the cupcake challenge. Sketch is from this week's Card Patterns blog
