Be your own sunshine

I started with plain vellum and spritzed gently a layer of oxide ink spray in the colour kitsch flamingo.  I then poured clear embossing powder over it, let it sit for a while to absorb some of the powder into the ink, tapped off, then heat set.  Once cooled I pushed my finger into the larger drops to make sure any moisture left in them was gone.  I repeated the same process again this time with wild honey oxide spray.

I then used the whip cream die from the Meraki Sweet Celebrations to cut out the vellum 3 times.  I finished the icing by gluing white card stock swirls on top.

I then die cut my cupcake liner from one of the beautiful floral patterns in the  Watercolor Whimsy Paper Pack as well as a frame in the same pattern using the largest die from Slimline Timeless Frames Dies.  I absolutely adore this paper and ended up using another pattern to glue my frame to.

I die cut and coloured some of the embellishments from the Sweet Celebrations set to pretty up and beside the cupcake.  I attached the cupcake with dimensional tape to the front of my panel as well as a cluster with a few strawberries and some other sweet die cut embellishments.  

I stamped a sentiment from the You Inspire Me Stamp Set and fussy cut around the sentiment.  I attached dimensional tape to the back of the sentiment and then attached to a strip of white card stock I coloured with copic markers.  This was attached to the bottom of my panel with dimensional tape as well.

I trimmed a medium pink card stock panel to a white card base and added my cupcake panel to the top with dimensional tape.   

I finished the card with some randomly placed shiny red nuvo drops.
