Hello crafter’s, Kia here with you today. Are you hungry?

Every time I look at this card I want a cupcake, especially a chocolate cupcake. This image is from Colorado Stamp Company called Sweet Friend Cupcake, and of course, I just love it.

I coloured using Copic Markers. I made a colour swatch as I was colouring, as I wanted to make sure I liked the colours and they would work together.

I could not remember the name of the cupcake liner at the time, hence cupcake package. lol

I started my colouring with the liner, and as I always do I start to colour with the lightest colour going to the darkest colour, then back to the lightest colour. The only time I change this is if the image in small, then I start with the dark and move to the light.

When I finished the Copic colouring I added some decoration to the liner being Gelly Roll pens in white and gold, along with Copic Marker dots in RV69. On the cream I also added Gelly Roll pen in gold.

Once I finished with the colouring I fussy cut the cupcake out. On my card base I then stencilled using Distress Ink Mowed Lawn, lightly. I decided on the placement of the cupcake and cut it, attaching it to my card base using foam squares.

I finished with a few gumdrops and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock using Gold embossing powder, then attached with glue to the cupcake and a foam square to the card base.

On the inside of the card I again stencilled with the Mowed Lawn and stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I attached the left over piece of the cupcake to the right side. No waste here!
