Cupcake Inspiration challenge #23

Hi everyone, it's Sunday and that means another FABULOUS Cupcake Inspiration challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal! Check out this week's elegant cupcake!
Isn't it gorgeous? OK, now check out my card... see the resemblance? No? Wellllll... that's cause my process took me all over the place and back again! When I finally finished picking my papers and embellies, it looked NOTHING like I wanted and NOTHING like the cupcake! Oh well, I guess that's all part of the process-huh?!?

The adorable image is from The Greeting Farm, Miss Ayna inked up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (the BEST for copic markers). I am so in love with these older Anya images! I just love coloring her and am getting better with my copic markers. The pattern paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird 6x6 mini deck.

I totally channeled my GF and Queen of scoring and CAS, Silke on this one! See the scored lines on either side of the pattern paper panel? Yep, Silke all the way! The sentiment is from Verve's Enjoy set.

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!!! If you upload to SCS or PCP, be sure to use keyword: CIC23.Thanks for stopping by. Now head on over to my fellow HSE Sweetie's cards and see how they rocked those cupcakes!!
