This week, there was an interesting colour combo challenge issued by the Colour Throwdown gals! I loved this combo but it was a challenge to find the right balance of colour without it looking liked someone barfed on it ... I made this card for that Birthday card class I held last Friday. I was inspired by a card I'd seen by Jodi that had the circles of another colour layered on top. I thought it looked interesting and fun!The cupcake pieces are stamped on DSP/card stock and cut out, the icing being popped up with dimensionals. I covered the candle with glitter. Anywho, hope you like it!
Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes
Paper: Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red Patterns DSP, Baja Breeze, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Stazon™
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Dimensionals®, 3/4" circle punch, Silver Brads, Riding Hood Striped Striped Grosgrain
I was also awarded with the "I Love Your Blog" award by Lisa! Thanks so much, Lisa! I'm supposed to pass this blog on, but I'd rather not ... there are so many talented blogs, it's hard to pick just a few!

What a great card! I love your cupcake, especially the popped up frosting! Great use of polka dots to add the pumpkin pie, too!
I love it!!! It was a "challenging" combination, LOL, but you rose to the challenge! Great balance of color, I'd say. Thanks for playing the Throwdown with us--hope to see you on the next one.
Congrats on the award Renee
