2 Cards for today:)
Hi All. I have 2 cards to share with you today before I head off to a fun kid/adult playdate! The first is for Lindsay's Stamping Stuff. I knew I wanted to break into my nook and pantry paper from basic grey and thought this was the perfect image for it!! Lindsay has quite a few cupcakes, but I chose this yummy one with the cherry. I covered it with chunky glitter for sprinkles and added some crystal effects to the cherry. The brad on top of the knot is also a cupcake!

Good Morning! It's a cold and wet day here. Can't wait to start a fire and get stamping!!!
I wanted to share this with you first though. Here is my card for Saturday Spotlight. We were to...
The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to use your own stamps to make a "masterboard" or your own designer paper to create several cards/projects at once (you only need to show us one creation that displays part of your masterboard).
I used mine behind the image. I stamped french script in burgundy on vanilla cardstock. I then stamped snowflakes in cocoa. Finally, i sponged cocoa over the whole thing and distressed the edges. This image is from the Belles and Whistles Christmas collection, it is gingerbread love. I colored it with copics and added some gold spica to their hair for some sparkle.
Challenges....
