Back to School CARD for Cupcake Inspirations

Hi, everyone!  It's with great joy that I'm sharing with you a Card I made for Cupcake Inspirations (CI).  I was chosen to join the team for their Challenge #123 as their "Guest Sweetie" for the week.

I always marvel at the various cupcake photo inspirations that they post on their challenge blog on a weekly basis every Sundays.  I couldn't believe that there could be that many cupcakes carefully designed and decored for us to feast our eyes with, albeit taste. . . . and to utilize as crafting inspiration for us crafters.  I wonder how CI manage to get photos of these fabulous cupcakes.  What an arsenal of inspiration from Cupcake Inspirations, isn't it?  

Below is Challenge #123 photo inspiration:

Next is my created card:

My "BACK TO SCHOOL" Card
 
SUPPLIES: Cardstock: Star Paper Corp., Paper: Studio Calico, Flower: Prima, Thread: DMC, Pearl: Queen & Co., Marker: American Craft, Sketch: Stamp Fairy, Other: Paper Clip, Chipboard Number, Digi Image, Button.


And the Card Sketch by Stamp Fairy, I utilized for this Guest Designer Spot with them:

  1. your card is adorable, the owl's a hoot (I couldn't resist saying it). And I agree about those weekly photos, I can't get over how every week there's another fantastic one.
    I'm glad you had fun playing with us.
