You Are Incredible...Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #346~Berry, Silver, White; The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge

Hello.

Valentine's Day is only a few days away; do you have treats for your sweet ready? Chocolates, perhaps? Maybe a heart shaped pizza? How about cupcakes?  If you need ideas for the latter, then feast your eyes on those we're serving at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #346~Berry, Silver, White


Glittery pretty, aren't they? And that sprinkle icing...yummo! 

This week, my fabulous team and I invite you to join us in this marvelous colour challenge. Our wonderful sponsor, The Paper Shelter, provided us with digital images to showcase, as well as a $15 Gift Certificate for the challenge winner.


For my image, I *had* to go with the Whimsical Dragon because he and his darling starry friends are over-the-moon adorable!  I used my polychromos pencils (in love!) to colour him, and while I didn't 'quite' manage berry, I think I came close. Of course, that just means more pencils to add to my wish list!  You can't see this based on my photo (oh, to have a decent place to take photos), but the three smiley stars, as well as the dragon's teeth and nails (seriously: a pinkish dragon needs to have a bright white smile and manicured nails!), are Glossy Accent shimmery.  A silver glitter cardstock as the background panel, a sprinkle of shiny stenciled stars, a sentiment and...ta dahhhhh! White, Berry and Silver, at your service! 


Soooo...after you've visited my team and wandered over to the photo inspiration source (just for 'temptation's sake), I hope you'll head to your crafting haven and use this colour combination to create a delectable delight for us.  I know your designs will be wonderfully creative and wonderfully inspiring!

See you in the gallery!

Also sharing in The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Kathy's colouring, as you well know, is stellar! 


I'm so grateful for your visit! Thank you for spending part of your day with me!
