Hi everyone! I hope you all survived the feeding frenzy of Thanksgiving!! We had a wonderful day and I think I'm still full!! LOL!! Well today is Friday and it's time for another one of Taylor's Cupcake Sketch Samplers!! This week's sketch is FANTASTIC!! I love it so much that I have already started another card that I'll be posting later! LOL!!
I have done quite a bit of stamp shopping lately and along my shopping travels ordered some of the new Whipper Snapper sets designed by Anna Wight. The set I used today is called Cozy Critters. The sets are so adorable and they stamp BEAUTIFULLY!!
Here are a few details: The owl from Cozy Critters was stamped two times in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copic markers. I cut the scarf out of the second one and popped it up on dimensionals. I cut it out with circle Nesties but sponged it when it was still in the die with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye. The round scallop circle is a Marvy Punch. The sentiment was cut out with a Nestie Ribbon Tag Trio die and sponged just like the owl. The snowflakes are also from Spellbinders (Nesties). The clear snowflake on top is a Heide Swapp Ghost shape snowflake. The button is from Stampin' Up!!
Now it's your turn to try the sketch. Taylor will choose the most clever, creative and cute creation from the submissions this weekend to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler next week. Your design and blog will be featured on her blog during Cupcake Friday. You're welcome to create something other than a card, but just stick to the sketch as closely as possible and you'll be eligible for the Featured Cupcake Sampler honors. If you upload your sketch to Splitcoast, use keyword TECC44 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 44). Leave a comment on Taylor's blog with a link to your blog or gallery upload so Taylor can check it out. The deadline to be eligible for the featured cupcake sampler is Monday December 1st at 8:00 am PST.
This week's Featured Cupcake Sampler is Karen Giron. You can check out Karen's sample on her blog, The Sweetest Thing.
