Cupcakes for my Sweet!

I wrote before about participating in the awesome monthly digi stamp club I found here. Well, here I am with this month's digi image, Cupcake Lineup, and how appropriate! Just in time for Valentine's Day! I normally do not partake in the whole retail hype for this day. I am one who thinks if I love someone... I can show them my love any day of the year... but my daughter recently moved back home and regardless of how anxious I am to send her back out to live on her own again... ;) lol ... I did want to gift her something special for Valentine's Day... I get these vibes maybe she needs extra loving from mom this year...

Here is the colored image...

These are the Copic markers I used to color the image:

Browns: E11, E13, E15, E18

Reds: R32, R46

Pinks: R01, R20

Here is a close up of the "special effects" ... ;) lol ... with Inkssentials Glossy Accents for the "cherries" and Liquid Applique for the "white frosting"...

I really like how the frosting came out too! I added Crystal Snow from Stampendous to add shimmer to the frosting. Here is the card...

I used card stock and rhinestones from my stash. I added Crystal Snow in a squiggle line of glue around the edges of the mat just to add some shimmer. I love shimmer! ;) The rhinestones are from this HUGE tub of rhinestones I purchased at Hobby Lobby. 

Faith Skrdla changed the name of her store from Designed2Delight to From the Heart but it's still the same awesome place! ;) 

Thanks for stopping by!
