Cupcake Card - CPS 107


Cupcake Card, originally uploaded by Bio-hazar.

This is my first attempt at using Letraset Promarkers to colour in a stamp. I just got these markers last weekend from Hobbycraft, but haven't tried them out. I needed to make sure I had the right type of stamping ink before I could proceed. Luckily I already had the ink I needed so I didn't need to get any extra supplies before I started. I decided to finally use my wonderful Shimelle Banana Frog "That Takes the Cake" stamps that In won from UKS. I stamped the images on Stampin' Up white card stock with Impress Jet Black Ink. Then I coloured them in using the Promarkers in Apricot, Terracotta, Blush, Pastel Pink, Ruby, Maroon, Sky Blue, Gold, and Grass. The finished result was better than I thought my first attempt would be and even thought that I could get away with making it into a card. For the card I followed the CPS sketch 107 and printed out some Rhonna Farrer Magic Rainbow digital papers, which were free downloads from Two Peas in a Bucket. I finished the card off with some free ribbons I got from a magazine, Flowers, Basic Grey glazed brad and a Crate paper rub on.
