Cupcake Challenge Birthday Card

I used the Utah Divas International Colour Challenge from Sept 20/2011 for this card - Peach Parfait, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight ......

 I used Whisper White as my neutral, and a Texture Plate to add fun to the background.  Here is a closer look of the cupcakes ....

A little bit of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter added to the icing makes them pop a bit.
Stamps:  Easy Events, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel
Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Basic Black, Garden Green
Markers:  Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Garden Green, Lucky Limeade
Other: Texture Plate, Scallop Edge Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
   Whisper White - 8.5 x 5.5
   Garden Green - 5.25 x 4
   Whisper White - 5-1/8 x 3-7/8
   Lucky Limeade - 1-1.2 x 5-1/8
The cupcakes on the plates are popped up on dimensionals and so is the sentiment.
Happy Stampin' ......

Wheel, Shimmer Paint & Simply Scored Technique Card

This little mini 3"x3" card is made to showcase a Stampin' Jumbo Wheel, the new Simply Scored Tool and Shimmer Paints.

I used the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Wild Wasabi Classic Ink to create the background on this card.  I made the medallion flower out of a piece of Beyond The Garden designer series paper and the new Simply Scored tool by Stampin' Up!.  I also used the Scallop Edge Punch before I scored and folded the flower.  Here is a closer view of the flower ....

You can see the bling in the center of the flower.  I spritzed the Daffodil Delight circle with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz before I ran it though my Big Shot with a texture plate.  You can also see the bling on the Not Quite Navy layer between the two Whisper White layers.  I used a dauber to run some of the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint right out of the bottle.  Oh the bling!!!!  The leaves are made using the Little Leaves Sizzlits Die.
I also made a bigger version of the medallion flower ...

I did not use the Scallop Edge Punch on this one, and it has a few more layers in the center.  But I still have bling on the Daffodil Delight center!

You can see a bit of the bling in this picture.
Thanks for visiting, and Happy Stampin' ....
