Freshly Made Sketches: Frosted Cupcake

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Cécile and here’s what I did with it!

   Frosted Cupcake 


I'm a very regular-shaped, balanced kind of card-maker so I thought this sketch would be an extreme challenge for me.  But the card actually came together quickly and I ended up loving it. It's Cécile's sketch and she is absolutely the queen of fresh and clean, yet unique and eye-catching cards. I'm not good at creating layouts like she does but with her sketch in front of me, my card has a wonderfully fun and celebratory look that I never would have figured out on my own.

The cupcake is Frosted Cupcake by My Favorite Things. I pulled a scrap of polka dot paper from the scrap bin. After I cut it, I folded it to give it some dimension.  All the other colors are a mix of cardstock from a variety of companies selected to match the polka dots. The background paper is actually shimmer white to give it a bit more sparkle and shine. 

I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

  5. There is something very fun about those bold blocks of colour Kim and the dotty cupcake case brings the whole card together. Great idea to fold too - love the touch of dimension this adds.
