Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #24

Hi everyone, it's Sunday and that means another FABULOUS Cupcake Inspiration challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal! Check out this week's Pirate fun cupcake! Talk like a pirate day is the 19th!!
I took my inspiration from the colors only. I don't really do Pirate cards -not my thing -LOL! I used another adorable image from The Greeting Farm, Miss Anya Dressy (out of stock right now) inked up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (the BEST for copic markers). The pattern paper is from Basic Grey, June Bug -Aggie. I colored in the white dots with a turquoise copic marker! It's fun customizing paper like that! I put tiny red rhinestones on her shoes and blue ones in the hair bows!!

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: CIC24.
Now head on over to my fellow HSE Sweetie's cards and see how they rocked those cupcakes!!

I have another fun card to share. This one uses some of the Chipboard stickers and pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket Early Bird! Me LOVES Early Bird! I just love that chipboard blossom branch, I put red rhinestones and silver pearls on each one. I also accented the letters with silver pearls. This is just a fun cheerful little card.
