More is More

 Happy Cupcake Friday!  Surprise!  I actually have cupcakes this week for the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge (cupcakes not required – get all the details on Taylor’s blog here.)  I got the SU set Crazy for Cupcakes in my October Club order and this is the first chance I’ve had to ink it up.  How can anyone resist this adorable pile of yummy cupcakes?

This card is super simple and probably doesn’t require much explanation.  The image was colored with Copics plus I used a retired SU metallic pencil on the tray.  The frosting was covered with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  The cherries have clear glaze pen to make them shiny.  I used a clear button over layered circle punches for the circle element and the horizontal strip was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swirl embossing folder.  The color combo came from the Georgia Peach dp.  I started to acent with black (you know my old *Fall Back on Black* rule!), but then I decided to go with the red from the cherries for my accent color.  I love how that turned out.

I wanted to finish off the inside of my card too.  I love how the tiny cupcake from Short & Sweet coordinates with this set.  The sentiment *Sweet friend* from SASI Sweet Celebration seemed just perfect to finish this thank you note.
