Is That a Cupcake on Your Head?

I've had this cute image from Stamping Bella's Tiddly Inks line for a week or two now and haven't tried it out yet. I decided it would be a nice fit for Taylor's new Cupcake Challenge sketch. The proportions for my 4 1/4" square card are a little off, but I made it work.

I stamped the image in black ink, then colored it with Copic markers. I filled in the cupcake top with some matching pink Stickles, then covered the cherry with a dot of Crystal Effects for a glossy look. The image has its own doodly square frame, so I used a circle Nestabilities die to cut around it, then layered the image on a pink scalloped circle.

The patterned papers I picked for the card coordinated nicely with some of Papertrey Ink's colors, so I used them for the solid mats on the card. I added a piece of matching Berry Sorbet satin ribbon around the square panel as an embellishment, then arranged everything on a Sweet Blush card base.

I found the perfect silly sentiment to go with the image--"put your party hat on!"--and stamped that on the patterned paper using Berry Sorbet ink and the help of my Stamp-a-ma-jig.
