Cupcake Inspiration challenge #21

Hi Everyone! It's Sunday and time for another delicious cupcake inspiration challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal! Check out the yumminess this week... Yep, those are hot air balloons and fluffy clouds with silver linings!! I took my inspiration directly from the fabulous hot air balloons and aren't my favorite silver pearls from Michael's perfect from the silver lining? OF COURSE I had to use Verve's Up Up and Away set (the sentiment is from Circular Sayings), how could I not!?! LOL!

The designer paper is from the new Cosmo Cricket mini deck, Earth Love. I thought the paper with butterflies and their cute trails would be PERFECT for the background of the balloon. I pieced the balloon using the striped paper, some basic gray paper, and a small piece of the blue/green DP. Once again I used my fav border punch Upper Crest and the ribbon is PTI Aqua Mist satin.

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!! Congrats to last week's Top Picks, who are posted on this post (I will update the link in the morning after Rach posts it). If you upload to SCS or PCP, be sure to use keyword: CIC21.

Thanks for stopping by. Now head on over to my fellow HSE Sweetie's cards and see how they rocked those cupcakies!!
