It's Friday and it's time for another one of Taylor's Cupcake Sketch Samplers. I have to admit, this sketch was a doozy for me, although I am happy with the final outcome....sort of!
I used the Love You Much set along with the coordinating Candy Lane DP from Stampin' Up! I stamped the main image in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Vintage Cream by PTI. I colored it in with Copics and cut it out with circle Nestabilities. I covered the flower with a filigree brad and added a little piercing around the Close to Cocoa circle. The ribbon is Riding Hood Red Taffeta and the yummy brads in the upper right corner are the new Chocolate Cordouroy brads from Stampin' Up! I {heart} them so much! LOL! The hearts were punched out with the Heart To Heart punch.
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 TECC55 (for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 55). 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 February 16th at 8:00 am PST.
This week's Featured Cupcake Sampler is Jodi Collins! You can check out Jodi's sample on her blog, Stamping A Latte. Woohoo, Jodi!!!!
