Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Reminder - Orange, Pink and White

 


It's time for a reminder of our current challenge on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog:


We want to see orange, pink and white on your cards.  For more details about today's new challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

I decided to create a stencilled background to use on my card.  The stencil is the Cross Stitch Stencil from Honey Doo Crafts which is one of my recent purchases.  It's a large stencil so I created a background which was 15cm by 15cm - I was able to use it for today's card and the card I shared last week!

I used Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove inks from Stampin' Up.

Here's another view of my card:


After using the stencil I added some more colour with blending brushes and then a tiny accent detail with a fineliner pen.

The birthday die is from Funky Fossil Designs cut using some pink and white card.
