Inka Cupcake Sketch
I picked up this Birthday Cupcake set by Inkadinkado this past weekend and I love it — if you can believe, it is my FIRST nicely sized cupcake stamp — too funny, I am always the LAST to get with the program and the trends — LOL!!! Anyway, since I’ve been enjoying my new Inka sets and since Jacksonbelle is running a sketch challenge for Inka stamps, I thought I’d do another. Here’s the link to the sketch, which is at Lynda Benden’s Blog – a GREAT blog to browse if you haven’t been there before!!! Filled with beautiful creations.
Fun card to make. I used some old DP that I have always loved (from Michaels), colored my cupcake with Copics, glitzed it up with some new Martha Stewart glitter in a purple shade, pierced my scallop border, used the Martha Stewart Lace punch, added ribbons, a flower and called it done!!! I did not include a sentiment. Although this is a Birthday set, I really could use this card for other purposes, so to be safe, I left off any sentiment. I like options when the cards are just going to be left here for my future use. I’ll adjust it to my needs when the time arises.
Stamps: Birthday Cupcake by Inkadinkado
Paper: PTI White, SU Barely Banana and Basic Gray, DP by Making Memories
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics to Color
Accessories: Martha Stewart Lace Punch and Glitter, Glue Pen, May Arts Ribbon, Wal-Mart Flower, Petite Oval Nestabilities by Spellbinders, SU Piercer and Mat Pack, SU Brad, Mounting Tape
That wraps it up for this post — just a quick one. I have a lot of company coming and am starting a window washing project, so, well — you know how that goes!!! Got all my kitchen curtains washed today so I hope to finish the kitchen tomorrow. Hope you are having a good week!!!
This is so yummy looking Sharon! Love your colouring and glitter on the cupcake!!

Sharon, this is so cute. I don’t have a cupcake stamp either, but sure seeing lots of things stamped with cupcakes these days. Your colors are so pretty and I too love that paper.
Great card!

Oh my gosh, how cute is this, a cupcake too pretty to eat, yet making me incredibly hungry! Your design is fabulous Sharon and, like you, I’ve yet to purchase a cupcake stamp, although I love them. Hmmm, wonder if anyone has made a floral cupcake yet?
Don’t wash your windows for me, I want to see the cupcake!! LOL
What beautiful dp papers and I always love that punch. Very nice. TFS
Just got this set and I love purple…so does a cute little 5 yr.old I know. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this Sharon. The colors are so distinctive. Hope you are having a great week so far. A friend and I are off to St. Jacob’s today to do a little shopping… It’s a wonderful little town just east of London with lots of wonderful shops and great food.
Talk soon.

Beautiful card - love all of the lace and scallops!
sweet card and I love the colors!
What a yummy, pretty cupcake card! Just beautiful!
Super cute card! I love the glitter!
You are still ahead of me, no cupcakes here. I love the colors, the lace punch border and how you took a cute image and turned it into a classy card.
Sparkly and beautiful Sharon!
Purple never looked so delicious!!! Love that sparkle!
Great cupcake card!! I also like to leave the sentiment off until the last minute because the card can often be used for different occasions or a new sentiment might be just out on the market and be just perfect for the card and person! TFS
Your card is beautiful……I just picked up that same stamp set yesterday. I’m going to see what I can come with…..Thanks for the inspiration.
That is too funny! I was gonna buy these stamps too!! I saw them @ Michael’s this past wknd. but, wasn’t sure how often I would use them. Now I wish I had bought them! this looks fabulous!! and your coloring is awesome! TFS!
If that cupcake was real I certainly wouldn’t eat it. It is too darn pretty to eat and the bow and the flower are just perfect embellishments for it.
Yikes! You do windows? Hee! This is such a good card. I just got a bunch of Martha Steward glitters….have not used it yet but the colors are so gorgeous, I could not resist! This is beautiful Sharon! Have fun with your company!
WOW!!! LOVE the card. I so need a class on Copics. I absolutely love them! I have some but I have not been able to creat anything yet that I am just thrilled with. I really need to play some more. So pretty! I just found your blog tonight when I was on yahoo so I will be stalking you now!
I can not wait to see more of your work and actally get the time to sit down and look through everything else.
Thanks for putting such a great blog out there.

Well Ms. Sharon, I always check out your blog, but never comment. But tonight I wanted to say I love this care!! But I love all you do. Take care my friend.
What a yummy looking cupcake!! The colors are awesome on this!!
TFS!
Your cupcake sketch is too cute! I love your colors. I also like the idea of making it more versatile by leaving off the sentiment. TFS
This is just scrumptious! Beautiful papers and colors and that glitter really IS the icing on the cake. :O)

This looks good enough to eat!! I love what you have done. I have this set, but it has sadly never seen ink:( You have inspired me, thank you:)
I love the colors Sharon! Really pretty card. It’s funny, I had this set in my hands at AC Moore today, but I ended up getting the Cattitude set!!
I have that set and I absolutely LOVE it! Cupcakes are so much fun to work with. Nice card!
Happy stamping,
Dana
I love this pretty little purple cupcake!
