Happy Good Friday y’all – here I am with another installment of Taylor’s Cupcake Challenge; I have to admit I struggled with this one, but I’m not blaming her sketch-it’s a great one! I think it was my choice of papers/embellishments. My first idea was to make a floral ground cover scene with flowers from the Fresh Flowers by Taylored Expressions, my next idea was to use my new Basic Grey Marrakech paper I got from Limelight Papercrafts which are gorgeous, rich Morrocan-inspired papers! But I believe my choice of paper was a little too busy for my floral scene and big prima layered flowers. But on second thought, I do think it still works! But I didn’t think that until I made a 2nd card…
This one is a little more muted, I just stamped a few flowers from the set on my main panel, put the Masala Bella paper on the center panel, which is less prominent. Then, I replaced the big bloom with a matching big button. For some reason after I made this card, I liked the first one better but now I have 2 cards instead of one – a happy accident!
How about a sweet Spring Treat? Taylor is giving away a FREE Tiny Twinkles to one random winner from among all the people who upload their sketch challenge cards to Paper CraftPlanet using the same TECC63 keyword.
