Strawberry Cupcake – Alex Syberia Designs

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you had a nice week! I am back today using a new stamp from Alex Syberia. You can find her AMAZING blog here http://alexsyberia.com/ I encourage you to visit her blog and to see her beautiful work, as well as visit all the guest designers to see their work using her new release. Today I am using the Strawberry Cupcake image, you can find a direct link to her shop here https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexSyberiaDesign I had so much fun creating with the beautiful Strawberry Cupcake stamp! This image is so fun, beautiful, and versatile! I wanted to create a large cupcake for my card, that was the focal point for my design!

I started by stamping my image on Bristol Smooth card stock. I then colored my image using a variety of zig clean color brush markers. I wanted to use a variety of shades of pink for this card. Once my coloring was complete I fussy cut the image. I then chose a stencil from Gina K Designs for the background and blended using 3 shades of distress oxide ink: Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, and Tattered Rose. For my sentiment I chose a birthday script sentiment from Stampin Up (past Paper Pumpkin kit) and used versa mark ink in black. I chose an embossing powder with some glitter/shine. I then cut the sentiment into a tag shape and used a small hole punch to add a bow using twine.

I then foam mounted the cupcake and sentiment to the stenciled background and adhered this panel to my card front. I added a few pink drops to the panel for added dimension.

I hope this birthday card brings someone a smile!
