Today, I'm joining Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #384 as a member of the DT for this week's challenge: Serendipity Stamps. Mary is generously offering a $20 Gift Certificate to the winner, so be sure you play along!
The Cupcake sweeties are tantalizing us with this lovely, intricately detailed treat, focusing on turquoise, gold and midnight. Eat this? Eventually, but some careful gazing and admiring of the artistry that went into this design would certainly take priority. And if the outside looks this grand, I can only imagine what awaits within...
For my card, I went with 'simple, yet detailed,' using the Angel die cut from gold shimmer cardstock (crazy challenging to photograph) and Joy To You Always sentiment. The stars are a Memory Box stencil...
Please be sure to check out what the Cupcake gals, along with guest designers from Serendipity, have created. WOW guaranteed!
Your turn! How will turquoise, midnight and gold inspire YOU?
That is one gorgeous cupcake in the inspiration photo, Carol. I don't know how anyone would be willing to eat it! Your card is gorgeous. That angel is beautiful. What a lovely die cut. I like your shining stars background. And that sentiment. Sweet. Thank you so much for sharing! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card Carol, such an elegant angel with the perfect background to set her off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in at That's Crafty! and wishing you good luck.

ReplyDeleteElegant and so lovely, Carol ... the shimmery angel is beautiful ... and the sentiment ... well, it includes my favourite word (joy), so of course I love it! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteStars shining in the sky and golden angels blaring out "Joy". What a perfectly beautiful card, Carol.
ReplyDeleteWow Carol! I am so loving this stunning card! Your angel is just beautiful and yes hard to photograph, but you did a great job. I also love those twinkling stars in the background, they are perfect to go with this lovely angel. What a great take from that inspirational cupcake, which is truly a work of art. Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteThat is one amazing cupcake & you've made a beautiful card, Carol! I love angels, but for some reason have trouble using them on my cards.
ReplyDeleteThat cupcake is definitely too gorgeous to eat! Love how it inspired you to make this sweet card! I wish I would have ordered that stencil before it was discontinued...
