It's Friday, which means another fantastic sketch from Taylor at Taylored Expressions ... I love circle elements, and with circles... I love scallops... and look, I even used a cupcake image!
Stamp: Cupcakes clear set (Hero Arts), Dotted Diamonds Backgrounder (Cornish Heritage Farms),
Paper: Blue Bayou, Basic Black, and Purely Pomegranate (SU!)...
Ink: Ice Blue (Colorbox Fluid Chalk), Pitch Black Adirondack (Ranger Ink), Black StazOn...
Access: pomegranate sating ribbon (misc), small rhinestone brad, Liquid Applique, faux dew drops...
Tools: circle dies (Spellbinders Nestabilites), paper-piercing tools, Perfectly Paisley embossing plate (Cuttlebug-Provo Craft), Slot punch (SU!), Threaded Water border punch (Fiskars), watercolor brush..
Helpful hints: I actually embossed the blue piece twice so there's lots of texture... cupcake is layered with dimensionals, used the plastic template (see yesterday's post) again for piercing the circle... image is watercolored... stamped greeting on the ribbon with StazOn...

Well, doesn't this cupcake look good enough to sink your teeth into. Love your scallop trim, and the way you added a flower to the top. I was looking for a cherry to use on mine, and didn't have the right image...never thought of using a flower...yours looks great! TFS
