From The Heart Cupcake Lineup

The digi pack this month from the Progressive Freebie Challenge at Delightful Inspiration {From The Heart} was perfectly timed for me to make a card for my Mother in Law’s 70^th birthday. She is always on a diet and only this week has joined back up at Weight Watchers so the sentiment is very apt indeed. Also in a rare move for me I am so organised and have made this card early.

When Faith sent the emails out she said she might try a 3 x 3 grid of cupcakes and I thought that was a fab idea so had a play. I copied the cupcake lineup in my graphics program and flipped one of them so there would be a contrast in the colours. I also created a decoupage layer on some of the cupcakes and popped them up on 3d foam.

I coloured my image using Promarkers and Flexmarkers adding some brown and red stickles glitter glue and some glossy accents on the raised images and a red glittery gel pen on the tiny hearts. You can see the detail better in the image below.

I used pink and brown as my main colours as this is my fave colour scheme. I added red as an accent colour as it need to be there for the hearts of course J

The paper is a glittery design from the Sweet Owl First Editions paper pad, the brown cardstock is a textured one from DCWV. The circular sentiment is a fabulous freebie from Netty’s Cards popped up on 3d foam. The calorie free sentiment has been trimmed banner style and added to a scrap of red cardstock.

That’s another card made for the progressive freebie and I am looking forward to seeing what we can play with for the next month. Thankyou  Faith for running these challenges again, they are so much fun J
