Hello again!
I haven't had much time for making cards - several 'springtime' projects going on in the Ferguson household - one that has been on tap for nearly 10 years! SO happy to finally have shelves that pull out of a big cabinet in my kitchen. Now, to do something about my laundry 'room' that can hardly be called that... while I wait for my new cabinet to arrive, there is time to play cards! yay!
I seldom can find a time when I make a card that fits more than one challenge - nor do I set out with a plan for that... except today, I did! Here are the challenges I'm entering: Color Hues #127 and The Paper Players #773.
and...
Once again, my sweet tooth got the best of me... inspired by
that wonderful little cake, the peachy polka dotted balloon and
candles - I 'baked' my own cupcake using the colors from Color Hues!
An old Sizzix EF inked on the debossed side; Candles and sentiment from
C&9th's Let it Shine - I added the little snips of white to mimic those
in the photo inspiration from the Paper Players;
frosting created with Pretty Pink Posh's Shoreline Borders; and
cupcake paper made using a SU! Crimped EF!
And voila! One card - two challenges! and I even used ribbon which I seldom do!

Thanks, Color Hues and The Paper Players for the shoutouts!

It is perfect for both challenges well done. You have made such a special birthday cake. I love all the details xx
Michele, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Every bit of the cupcake you "baked" is brilliant and I love the peach peeking through the large polka dot die cut. So, so fun! I'm so glad you had time away from your house projects (sounds wonderful!) to join both the Paper Players and Color Hues!
This is just the cutest cupcake (and background) EVAH!!! And the ribbon is the icing on the cake! SO happy you played with us this week! And you will LOVE those pull-out drawers!
YAY, for a home project, we did one recently too! need to send you a picture. This is the yummiest of cards! I love what you've done with the colors and the fun cupcake you've created!
Now that is my kind of cupcake Michele with LOTS of frosting!! You've used our challenge colors perfectly with all the different elements you added to this delightful card! I'm loving the polka dotted background where you added color to your ef, and the sweet striped candles as well! And the crimped cupcake liner & ribbon are such awesome finishing touches!! So glad you were able to take a break from home renovations and play along with us at Color Hues my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is adorable, Michele. I love these soft colours that create a very serene card. That cupcake looks so yummy! :) xx
This is jsut the sweetest llittle cupcake Michele! Love it! I'm feeling hungry!! Good luck with all your home projects! :)
Congratulations on moving forward with some overdue projects! That's gotta feel amazing. And your card is delicious in every way! Go, Michele!
Oh my---this is the best polka dot background and that cupcake is so FUN! Love the color combo, too. Who wouldn't love to receive this special card! You always amaze me! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
I'm wanting a cupcake now! Your icing reminds me of the icing my mom used to make that I could never duplicate! The use of these shades of teal and peach are so sweet (sorry), and I'm loving those striped candles and dotty background! I'm so glad to see you at Color Hues this go round!
Love your cupcake and debossed background. I thought it was a die cut at first. Very creative way to make the whole cupcake. Love the "frosting".
Brilliant! Every element adds something wonderful to your final creation. I love that debossed background, the delightful candles, the banner sentiment, and the perfect cupcake wrapper! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Michele the cupcake you baked looks delicious and I love the debossed polka dot background too. The perfect birthday treat! So happy you shared with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Yummiest cupcake I've seen in ages! Brilliant idea for the frosting and, of course, you had to bring the crimper out for the cup! Such a pretty peach shade. The debossed panel is the BEST! Every detail takes it one more step beyond fabulous!
What a fantastic and delicious way to use the CH colors! I love all the details - those debossed dots, waves for icing!, the little piece of ribbon, the crimped cupcake liner... so fun and festive!
Home projects can be wonderful, especially if it involves organization and function. So glad they are coming along and you had time to play, Michele. That frosting is very creative and so is your cupcake holder.
This is really darling! Love the dotted "reverse" paper and crimped cupcake paper!
This is as cute as can be. That background really did it for me! You have a great eye for design, Michelle. Thanks for playing at Color Hues and good luck with your house projects!
Oh this card just screams “birthday”! And nothing beats a giant cupcake in those festive colors and an amazing cupcake liner! Love it all!
Renovations, sounds exciting in your house right now! I won't even tell you what my front door looks like lol.
oooh there's that cupcake you were teasing me about, LOVE it and that background.... inky and dimensional!
This looks good enough to eat! Or should I say, too good to eat? Love the corrugated liner. It makes it look so real. Just beautiful Michele! Thanks so much for playing with my colors here at Color Hues.
So sweet! Love the sweet cupcake and all the fabulous texture! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
What a wondeful card! Congrats on the honorable mention.
