The new
House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge blog challenge for this week is a Photo Inspiration challenge.
Lorraine is our Design Team hostess for the challenge and she has chosen this yummy and colorful photo of cupcakes to be the inspiration for your House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie card.
Our fabulous Sponsors this week are: House-Mouse Designs and Di's Digi Downloads. The 2 prizes will be a $25 House Mouse Designs Gift Card and a $10 voucher to Di's Digi Downloads shop.
I chose this Gruffie stamp to use with the challenge. Doesn't he look like he's thoroughly enjoying his cake? I used a bit of Flower Soft on the cake to give dimension and the look of real cake crumbs. To the candles I gave them a waxy appearance by using a tiny bit of clear glossy effects on them. I colored the image with Copic Markers and added a touch of baby blue and soft pink stickles glitter to the streamers.
Be sure to check out all of the design team's cards for this photo challenge at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog and then create your own card using the photo of the cupcakes and be sure to link it up. If you post your card in online galleries be sure to use the keyword
HMFMC115 so we can easily find your card.
Until next time,
Cheers!
Jennifer
