It's time to cook!

Well, not really, but it is time to do a recipe challenge for the VCMP! These particular challenges always make me think and that's a good thing lol. Today our recipe is this:

1 image

2 patterned papers

3 words

 

Here is what I came up with for you:

What do you think? The DP are from a 6x6 Basic Grey pad. I love using those since the papers all work so well together. I made sure to use two that had some yellow in them to match my cupcake wrapper. For the cupcake frosting, I used Tulip Puffy Paint and after it got puffed it up, it was covered in Recollections glitter glue. This is my favorite type of glitter to use on anything. I've never had any problems with it rubbing off on my fingers when I test it for OWH. We don't want it coming off and ending up on a uniform.

The rest of the cupcake was colored with Copics and is a stamp from Make An Impression. The sentiment is from a Fiskars cling set. I really like the Fiskars theme sets lately. And this card happens to use sketch 73 over on the Stars & Stripes blog.

Now it's your turn to try the recipe. I have faith that you can do it! Give it a try and you might be surprised with how easy and fun it can be! Plus there's some blog candy at stake. I have a cute cupcake stamp set with some Tulip Puffy Paint so you can try making some puffy frosting. I also have a pad of 6x6 All is Bright by My Mind's Eye. One will be given away to a randomly chosen comment and one to a randomly chosen card.

 

 

So...are you ready to try your hand at a new recipe? Good luck!

Update: The blog candy winners will be chosen at 9pm Pacific time on Sunday, September 9.

Sketch 62

For sketch 62, I used all kinds of fun stuff. The cupcake paper is actually clear plastic with the pink cupcakes printed on it. This is some of the rare "paper" that I hoard. I've only seen it once and it was on clearance at a store that went out of business. It's from Hambly.

For the cupcake itself, the image is from Make An Impression. I then colored the wrapper with Copics and used puffy paint for the frosting. The hardest part was letting it dry before I made it puffy with my heat gun. Then I topped it with some glitter glue for a bit of sparkle.

The happy birthday is Stampendous and the other sentiment is from Make An Impression. I bought the cupcake stamp and sentiment at the same time and this is the first time I've managed to use them together lol.

I hope you have a cupcake kind of day!
