Cupcake Inspiration Challenge -20

Hi Everyone! It's Sunday and time for another delicious cupcake inspiration challenge. Check out the yumminess this week...Sadly, I didn't have any time to make a card for this challenge. My little one has been pretty sick since Thursday and I couldn't get to it.

BUT, I do have a couple winter cards to share. This first card uses some of the NEW Imaginisce winter line, Polar Express!! LOVE the fun bright glittery colors in this collection. This cute polar bear was colored with copic markers (as was the shading around him). Check him out, the stamp is part of the Snag 'em line and only $1!! I used my Upper Crest border punch for the bottom and the sentiment is from Verve's Snow Wonderful set.

This next card uses one of the Miss Ayna images from The Greeting Farm. She is the Snow image from the Rain, Snow, Shine set. I colored her with copic markers and added some liquid applique to her trim -tooo cute! AND, see that background paper? I made it by stamping an image from Technique Tuesday, Casablanca repeatedly to form that pattern and embossed with clear. BTW, it took me hours of trying different combinations to come up with that pattern!!

The felt flower and holly are from Creative Cafe which I found at my LSS (the only place I have been able to find them!). Some heavenly silver pearls and silver cord finish things off.

Everyone is invited to play along in the challenge!! If you do, be sure to link your creation to Mr. Linky on the HSE blog. Every week, Rach highlighs the top 5!! And if you upload to SCS or PCP, be sure to use keyword: CIC20. Oh and speaking of winter and Christmas, be sure to stop by the store, and check out the new Memory Box paper they have 2 new Christmas lines out now!!
