Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 343

Hello lovelies!

It is time for another Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

This week's sponsor is Your Next Stamp!

Oh my!

Do you love this week's theme as much as I do!? 

So stinkin' cute and fun!

Here is my take...

Aloha from the paradise!

I got some help from the Sketch and Color Challenge over at Your Next Stamp to create this happy card this week :-) I normally don't combine my cupcake cards with other challenges, but since they're the sponsor this week, it seemed appropriate ;-)

Besides, look how well they worked!

If you've never shopped at Your Next Stamp, they have these cute boys and girls images from around the world! I ordered "Kai from Hawaii" for this challenge for 2 reasons...

1: My twin boy's name is Kaius, and we call him Kai :-) It is a hybrid of the names Gaius, and Kai, which means ocean in Japanese! 

2: How can you NOT buy this cute stamp!? *LOL*

I stamped him with Stazon Jet Black and colored him with my Kuretake Watercolor Brushes.

As much as I love this sentiment die, I don't get to use it as often.

I die cut in Midnight Muse and Lost Lagoon, and layered them for a little dimension.

And here is my favorite part of this card! I sewed 2 pieces of Lost Lagoon ribbon with zig zag stitches, which look like waves in the ocean! 

I love this card!

The sketch from YNS was really perfect!

I wish I could be there with Kai!!!
