' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: The icing on the cake

The icing on the cake


Welcome to another STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch challenge!
This month the theme and Sketch are:




I chose to follow the theme and created a card with the fun A Snarky Birthday to You stamp set:



I created masks for the cupcakes and stamped them with Versafine Sepia ink directly on the base card.

With all 3 masks in place I applied Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron to the background with the Nestled Circles stencil, first in the  classic vertical format then turning it upside down. I added a table with Walnut Distress Oxide.

I returned to the cupcakes and gave them an all over coat of coloured pencils, a brown-ish for the lower half and a light pink for the top. The fun bit came next, in the shape of texture provided by a special paint in lieu of icing (Pebeo 3D Volume Touch in Fuchsia), which puffs up with heat. With the small nozzle of the paint tube, I traced the stamped  swirls of the cupcakes and spread the paint with a silicone tipped tool, in a similar manner to icing in fact!

Finally the sentiment from the same set was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.


There you have it, cake, icing but no calories! Do join us in the challenge, following either the Theme or the Sketch or both for the chance to win prizes...
