Guess The Paper

After enjoying making my last cupcake card that I made on Sunday I decided to make another tonight. Again I used a die cut cupcake from Dovecraft's 'Piece of Cake - Decoupage Pad', I'm not sure why but the cupcake reminded me of a Christmas pudding.

















The paper I used is a mystery as I aren't sure who it's made by I vaguely remember buying it in a kit with some other double sided papers and I thought it may be 'Papermania' but I could be wrong as I googled it and didn't come up with anything. The background paper and the scallop are from the same sheet but are on opposite sides of the 12x12 and when I say paper it's more like thin card.

I loved the way that you can just see the bits of writing on the scalloped shaped paper, just by accident you can just see the words 'The first bite of stra..' which is very apt although I am guessing that it's a cherry on top of the cake and not a strawberry but I'm all for happy co-incidences.

That's it for tonight, if anyone knows who made the paper then please put me out of my misery and leave a comment telling me.

Cup Cakes

For my last card today I decided to enter the Fussy And Fancy Friday Challenge, This week there challenge is to use stitches, scallops and sparkle. As I'm always up for a challenge I set about making a card and ended up with the one below which I'm really pleased with.
















To start with I decided to go with a die cut cupcake from Dovecraft's 'Piece of Cake - Decoupage Pad', I chose the pink and brown cake as I already had a backing paper in mind. I used a design from K & Co - Chocolate Neapolitan which worked perfectly. I managed to get 2 scalloped circles onto my card, mainly due to the fact that I needed to emphasis the scallop from the background, I used stitching in metallic thread on each segment of one scallop and painted the pink scallop with stickles and added a couple of gems in the center for the sparkle.
