The Card Concept #31
If you asked Tom about cupcakes, or cake for that matter... he'd say "it's all about the frosting!" Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the yummy Card Concept photo for challenge #31:
You won't find me reaching for the embossing paste very often, but this design just yearned for it. Coupled with a bit of distress ink, and a gorgeous stencil from the generous Ms. Shery from her Stamplorations blog-post contest, I've fallen in love with it. Thanks again, Shery!

A beautiful card Michele, I love that pretty embossing, so glad you reached for it to create this beauty. Thank you for sharing at the Card Concept!
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele! This card is positively delicious! I love your embossing paste and embossed strip pf paper...gorgeous! (I'm not sure why I'm hesitant to try embossing paste...I've never used it, but you are making me at least consider it...)
ReplyDeleteOh, I like your pretty pink roses!! This is lovely Michele. That extra little strip of paper adds so much!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on the inspiration. It is all about the frosting when looking, but all about the cake when eating!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteYou are chock full of cleverness...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The roses look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful dimensional and softly coloured frosting! Did you add colour to your paste? They look yummy enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI agree , its all about the frosting! Love your frosting roses!
ReplyDeleteSo instead of frosting cupcakes, you frosted roses? Love the outcome, Michele.
ReplyDeleteLove your 'frosting', seriously a clever take on the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the frosting!! Its so soft and simply stunning!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove your 'frosted' roses--so pretty! The die cut piece and sequins are perfect touches!
ReplyDeleteThis is way beyond gorgeous! You are so clever my friend. Thank you for joining us at The Card Concept!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would agree with yours; in his view, a cupcake is simply the 'vehicle' for frosting (as pancakes are for maple syrup!). Your card: feast for the eyes! A marvelous showcase of your creativity with the stencil and paste! Delicious!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Wow! Michele, this is a stunner ... I don't generally do frosting at all (too sweet for me, love my cupcakes completely naked!), but yours is just gorgeous ... that tinted EP is amazing! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGasp! This is stunning! The soft and elegant simplicity truly takes my breath away, while the three wee dynamic pops of blue had me falling of my chair! The flower petals seem to capture the swirl of the icing perfectly! Gorgeous, gorgeous card - so glad that you shared it with us at CCC!
ReplyDeleteSoft, beautiful, chic and gorgeous!! Love the soft tone of the flowers and just the sheer loveliness of this card!! Awesome!!
