After an exhausting day of crafting with fellow Blue Angels yesterday, we made 16 cards each in 6 hours using the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets that will be available later this month, I decided to take it easy today. Having said that, I came up with the idea to make my first card of 2012 to be entered into a challenge.
After searching for some inspiration I came across two challenges that I thought I might be able to enter, and I came up with the idea for a card that I thought would meet the criteria of both.
The first challenge is the Simply Stamping Challenge # 41 – Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. The challenge is to create a project using the colours and at least one Stampin’ Up! image, stamp or designer paper.
The second challenge is the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 99– which is inspired by a photo of some lovely looking cupcakes with pale blue frosting (as they call it in the USA). The challenge is to create a project inspired by the picture, and it could therefore be topic or colour based.
I have had the new Create a Cupcake stamp set sitting on my craft table for a few days so I thought that I could come up with something using the set.
I hope you like the card and I appreciate any comments you leave.
I will be posting sometime in the next week or so, photos and details of the 16 cards that I made yesterday. The cards have been made into 4 Baggie Book sets – 4 cards in each set, showcasing the Sale-a-Bration sets that are available from 24 January.
