Cupcake Cutie

 

Hi!  I'm here with a card for the latest challenge at Fusion.  I focussed mainly on the photo this time but went with a birthday theme rather than Valentine.

I love Tiddly Inks images and had to buy this Cupcake Cutie set at MFT.  I coloured her in, matching the sketch colours and added some white gel pen dots to her dress.  I then fussy-cut her out and set out working on the rest of the card.

I wanted to do an ink-blended background so masked off a rectangle on the white card base and blended some pinks from Altenew.  I then went over slightly darker with a dot stencil.  Once I was finished I wanted even more so found this hot foil plate and carefully lined it up to match the ink-blending.  It wasn't a 100% fit so I had to do a bit of judicious white gel penning to cover up some ink-blending in the top left corner, but it was good enough for me!

I finished with a hot-foiled sentiment die-cut with a co-ordinating die.

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll head over and check out the wonderful cards made by the DT.

I'm playing along with the Anything Goes theme at Seize the Birthday.
