Luana had her first Alice Springs birthday party on the weekend. She had an awesome time on the bouncy castle and the climbing wall, and it was great to meet some more parents in town. The theme was Princess Party, and I had every intention of using Pretty Princess, but then saw this Inspiration Challenge from Stampin' Celebration and just had to play along:
The cupcakes and flowers were just too sweet to pass by..... I have been visiting Stampin' Celebration since they started a couple of months ago and love the Inspiration Challenges they come up with, but must admit this is my first time playing. Isn't this weeks Inspiration just so girly and gorgeous?!I teamed this challenge with the latest Inkspirations sketch challenge, being hosted by Cindy this week.
Cindy has issued an additional challenge of 'using something from your stash you have been hoarding for a long time'. Well, I pulled out two stashed products - Certainly Celery Prints DSP (I think it's about 2 years old now....) and Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (this is the first time it's seen the light if day since I bought it!!).
It's really hard to see and it hasn't come out as well in the Pink Pirouette as it does with darker colours like Chocolate Chip, but I used the small swirl from Priceless to kiss the cupcake icing to simulate the swirls of the knife (my icing is NEVER smooth!).
Hope you're having a great week and thanks for visiting!!

Hi Natasha,
this is really lovely!!! You did a fantastic job with the sketch and I love the colours you used and the little flowers you added on the cupcake is the perfect touch.

Glad you both had a good time at the party. Bouncy castles are so much fun. Very sweet card.
So pretty! I love the colors you picked and the layout is perfect too. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Stampin' Celebration. :-)
What a fun card! I like all the little details on your card! And what a great idea to use the priceless stamp as swirls on your cupcake! Thanks for playing! And I hope you play again!
