I know that cupcakes are all the rage right now and I am really on that bandwagon, so it was so fun to use this cute stamp set from Pink Persimmon for my CPS card using this weeks sketch.
This cupcake set from Pink Persimmon contains the cupcake frosting and cupcake paper and then it has a whole selection of accessories for having the cupcake fit your theme. So my theme is a circus birthday.
I wouldn't ususally think to color the frosting green but it just looks like something I should eat! I stamped the cupcake twice. The first time on Curious Iridescent Cryogen White cardstock with black ink and embossing that with clear embossing powder. I then stamped it again on the green gingham patterned paper and then I cut out the cupcake paper only portion and glued that over my first stamped image where I colored the frosting with Copic markers. Some of the portions of the carousel tent has some Aleene's Paper Glaze applied to it but a glass like finish.
Can you see the slight sparkle to the white paper? That sparkle is in the Curious Iridescent Cryogen White cardstock. It shows up when the paper is turned to the side in light. I love how the Copic markers blend with this cardstock but I just love that resulting sparkle too. I also wanted to show the little scallop border that is part of the same stamp set. ***
And more photos!
We took a little trip to see Thomas the Tank Engine this weekend. Talk about a fun way to make one little guy very happy.
This was pretty much the look on his face for the entire train ride. He was so serious taking it all in. 
They have all kinds of play stations set up, it is possible he loved this just as much as seeing the train and taking the train ride! (oh, and the hat stayed on the entire time, too cute!)Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
