Have you ever started something and then had so many distractions that it took a lot longer to complete then it should have? That would be this card. I started it thinking cool with the sketch already done this should be a quick card. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Nearly 2 hours later I finished the card just in time to take it with me to pick up the girls from school and ask a friend how she liked it best. I had part of it done with DOTTO so I could change it if needed. I know your wondering what took so long to get it done. I had more distractions today then one could imagine. It seemed like every time I started to work on it something else happened that required my attention more then the card. It's done and after 2 hours I have decided that this is how it will remain. The sketch came from a Blog called Cards & Things Challenge Blog.
So on to the card... As usual all the items used are from Stampin' Up! unless other wise noted.
Stamp Set: Crazy for Cupcakes
Inks: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Rose Red, Bashful Blue and Taken with Teal- Confession- I have had this Ink Pad since we changed Ink Pad styles and today is the first time I have used it. I actually had to take the shrink wrap off of it. I know shame on me.
Card stock: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Whisper White and Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories: 2 way glue, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, 3/4 circle punch, 1in circle punch, 1 3/8 in circle punch and Stamp-a-ma-jig
Here is a close up of the cupcakes... So what do you think? Was it worth the 2 hours it took to complete it?
Thanks for stopping by!
