Joy To You Always...Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #384, Serendipity Stamps Sponsor

Hello,

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?
Thank you so much for spending part of your day with me; your visit brings me joy!

Wow 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

That 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.

That 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...

I couldn't imagine eating such a gorgeous cupcake! I think I'd just want to look at it forever! A very elegant take on the inspiration though with your lovely card. Those pretty stars behind the gold angel are just lovely!
