OCC Inspiration Challenge - Holly Cupcake

Hey all! Today it's an inspiration challenge on Our Creative Corner, and here is the inspiration picture. What do you think?...polka dots, a cupcake, traditional red and green Christmas colors...totally cute, right?! :)

Be sure to stop by the OCC blog and check out what Amy, Cindy, Dawn, Jennifer, Julee, and Lynda have made for you.

We have a very special guest on the OCC today....Taylor VanBruggen! Her card is adorable so come on over and check it out. :) Thanks for being our guest this week, Taylor!

I used the sentiment and holly cupcake stamp from Season's Sweetings. I masked the cupcake with a stamped and cut out post-it note to make the trio of cupcakes. They're colored with Copic markers (numbers are in the recipe below). The layout is Taylor's TECC Sketch from last week...TECC40. The sentiment and main image panel are up on dimensionals. I added some Dries Clear Adhesive to the centers of the holly and then sprinkled on some Fire Engine Red Glitter. The double-edged polka dot ribbon is also from Taylored Expressions.

I added a white panel to the inside of the card matted with black CS. Down in the lower left-hand corner, I stamped the row of cupcakes from the Home Sweet Home set. They were also colored with Copics.
