I'm not very creative with my titles, incase you hadn't noticed. Hopefully that doesn't reflect on my stamping abilities. I went with another Color Coach Combo of Melon Mambo, Old Olive & Basic Gray. I began with the Basic Gray base and ran it through the Big Shot using the new Framed Tulip Impression Folder. Next I layered some Old Olive and Melon Mambo DSP in strips on a Whisper White base. You can't see the base, it is just there for structure. I then stamped my greeting in Basic Black on the bottom Olive strip. I then added some Melon Mambo Pompom Trim (too cute) and mounted this piece on my base with dimensionals. To create my cupcake I stamped Old Olive on Whisper White for the base and added a Basic Gray ribbon and punched it out. I then stamped the "frosting" in Melon Mambo and punched it out. I then took a Whisper White 2 3/8" scallop circle and added my cupcake using dimensionals. A little button and thread finish it off. For a finishing touch, I punched holes in each of the scallops using my 1/16" circle punch. This was mounted with double layered dimensionals to accommodate the pompom trim and the extra layering. Enjoy! I hope to get some stamping done today to share with you the rest of the week so I better get hopping. I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday. It looks like we are going to have wonderful spring like weather here this week.
I love this color combo and your card period! The pom pom trimming is just the cutest! I have a hard time coming up with creative titles, too, but I think you did just fine with your title. =)
