Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #35

Hi everyone! It's Sunday and that means it's time for another FABULOUS Cupcake Inspiration challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal! Check out this week's cupcake, how STUNNING is this??
I LOVE the elegance of this cupcake and I tried to capture some of it. I took inspiration from the pale blue, white and silver colors and the snowman image. I used my Kissmas and Mistletoe set from {ippity} stamps. I embossed the snowman and sentiment with silver EP and added some silver sequins with tiny green rhinestones from a Zva Creative wheel.

The DP is Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses and I used my beloved Swiss Dots EF. I hope you all will never get tired of me using that folder -LOL! The snowflakes are punched out, edged with silver craft ink and also added silver sequins with blue Zva rhinestones.
Hopefully you can get a better look at the close-up picture.

Since I had lots of scraps and nesties out on my desk, I did another! This one is a Christmas thank you card using the tree image from Kissmas & Mistletoe (also embossed in silver) and the sentiment is from Verve's new Celebration of Thanks set. I took a better picture this morning, you can tell the outer circle is SHINY SILVER! I recycled the sides of an old gift bag!

BTW, can you tell I am addicted to circle cards ? LOL!

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 this week's Top Picks !!!
