Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 365

Hello my crafty friends!

Hope you're all enjoying this summer!

We are back with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge today! Woo Hoo!

We have a few new DT members starting today, they're all so talented I am certain they will inspire you and myself!!! Please help us welcome them ;-)

This week's sponsor is fabulous Winnie & Walter ;-)

I'm a big fan of them, especially their awesome sentiment dies!

 

They are generously giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky winner this week! 

What a perfect theme to showcase the Winnie & Walter products!?

They have so many beautiful flower sets, I'm sure you'll find your favorite!

Okay, here is my take...;-)

We were all offered $20 gift voucher to purchase their products, thank you so much Shay! How generous of you!!

With that, I immediately went to their website and got a few things (how can I NOT spend more than $20 worth of stuff when you shop there!? lol)

I HAD to get the In Bloom:Anna's Flora because of this beautiful sunflower!

The day I received my order, I had just watched the video by Kristina Werner showing how to color with Zig Clean Color brush set, and I was totally inspired by her! 

I heat embossed the sunflower in the middle first, then I masked it, and heat embossed the other two flowers and a couple of leaves. I hand drawn the stems. This was SO MUCH FUN to color!!! 

When I was all done coloring these beauties, I die cut the sentiment out of my watercolor, die cut another one from a cork sheet, nested the cork in, then put the watercolor piece on top of it. Some sparkling sequins and Linen Thread were added, done!
