Pretty Pink Posh - Strawberry Cupcake

Hi there,

How about we take a break and have a sweet treat? Who's with me? I took out a bunch of dies from different Pretty Pink Posh sets to help me build this lovely card, and I love how refreshing it looks.

I cut an Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and started off by covering it with spun sugar oxide ink to get a nice soft pink base. Next I used the Layered Strawberries stencils to create a beautiful pattern on my panel. For the strawberries, I used worn lipstick, candied apple, hickory smoke, shabby shutters and mowed lawn oxide inks. For the flowers, I used squeezed lemonade, mustard seed and carved pumpkin. And for the leaves, I used shabby shutters, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks.

I added texture to my panel, starting with water droplets that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used a small brush to add splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with black soot oxide ink. Once it was dry, I attached my Eyelet Rectangle panel to an A2 white card base that I set aside for later.

I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, kraft cardstock and white cardstock, and assembled everything on a 4,5 x 3,25 inches vellum panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Big Celebration Cupcake for the ants, strawberries and blueberries • Big Easter Cupcake for the cupcake wrap and sign • Big Valentine Cupcake for the cake and cream • Easter Mug Additions for the flowers • Winter Foliage for the leaves • Baby Rattle Shaker for the hearts.

For my greeting, I used stamps from Fresh Berries. I stamped "Love you" in black on white cardstock, and trimmed it into a banner using a Sentiment Strips die. And I stamped "Berry much" in red on white cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached both pieces below the cupcake using foam squares.

Next I flipped my vellum panel over, added liquid glue behind all the die cut pieces, and stuck the panel to my Layered Strawberries card base. I picked a few sprinkles from the Strawberry Banana clay confetti pack, and glued them on the cream. I added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and finished my card by applying white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts.
