HSE Cupcake Inspiration #17

Hi everyone, it's Sunday and that means another fabulous HSE Cupcake Inspiration challenge! Set your peepers on this plate of yumminess...

Disclaimer: my card DOES NOT do these cupcakies justice AT ALL! I seem to have peetered out on making cards today after all the DTGD challenges -whew!

OK so, after admitting that this is not my favorite card of all time, here it is...

The whimsical image is called Butterfly Trail and is a sneak peek of the soon to be released Inkadinkado $1.99 series stamps! Rachel is expecting them in the store SOON!! The felt flowers are from Zva Creative and the gem brads are Basic Grey's Lemonade glazed brads. I was completely drawn to the bright pink and green of the cupcakes and I thought PTI's Raspberry Fizz bitty dots paired with the New Leaf were perfect! For my layout, I used the Weekend Sketch Challenge #90, hosted this week by my fellow Verve Diva, Lauraly!

After much fiddling on this, I thought it needed something at the top, so I pulled out and dusted off my SU corner punch. Remember when we used corners on EVERYTHING? I haven't put corners on a card in AGES and thought it would be fun to do so.

Everyone is welcome to play along! Just link your card to Mr. Linky on the HSE blog. Each week, Rachel will showcase the Top 5 picks!! Now it's time to check out my fellow HSE Sweetie's cards and see how they rocked those cupcakies!!
