Inkspirational #367 - Visual Prompt

 Here is my DT card for the latest Inkspirational Challenge - #367  A Visual Prompt!

I was inspired by the colors of the flowers and the kraft color of the palette, but used cupcakes in a cardboard box instead!
The Boxed Cupcakes die and stencil set and sentiment are all from Waffle Flower. 

Inside is stamped:  Happy Birthday!
 
This close up shows the shine of the Glossy Accents I put on the 'frosting' of the cupcakes! I used Orange Peel Stickles for the flames on the candles so they are also glittery. 
(Boy, it's been years since I used my Stickles I was surprised they hadn't dried up!)
So please join us over at Inkspirational - and link up your creation inspired by our Visual Prompt!

This challenge ends on May 22nd

April 2026 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today's the day for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal of all the cards sent and received in April.  I sent my card to Gail in Canada and received a beautiful tag-card from Dagmara in Poland!

This time I used two of the suggested themes in my card design -Long Ears and Spring!

I embossed the background and rubbed Scattered Straw ink pad over it.  I die cut the bunny pieces and sponged them with Scattered Straw and Brushed Corduroy adding a little Tattered Rose to the ears and nose and glued all the pieces together.  I  die cut the grasses (twice for more width and volume) and sponged them with Peeled Paint, adhered them to the bottom of the panel, spreading the tops out a bit so the bunny could be 'peeking' through them!  I stamped the sentiment on a white panel and adhered it across the top of the panel

We hope you will come and join us for the May Card Chain Challenge.  You'll find all the info on the challenge and how to sign up at the Card Chain Challenge blog here.
