Bella Baja Cupcakes

Hi all!

Here's a card for today's SCS Sketch #194...I just turned the sketch on it's side. When I saw Dawn's post this morning with the ATS Color Challenge, I knew I wanted to use this color combo (riding hood red, baja breeze, and kraft). I think the combo is really pretty and I thought it would tie in realy nicely with my cupcake stamps from Taylored Expressions.

The cupcakes were stamped in Versafine Black Onyx and then watercolored with Creamy Caramel, Riding Hood Red, and Baja Breeze reinkers. Gwen asked me yesterday what tools I use to watercolor. I use a regular wet watercolor brush...the regular bristle type.

The main panel was stamped, watercolored, and then matted against the Kraft CS. Then I punched a couple holes with my Cropodile, ran the taffeta ribbon through them, added some sparkly white brads over the holes, and glued that panel down with dimensionals. The scallops were done with Stampin' Up's scallop edge punch.
