I made a simple card using the Layered Cupcake Stamp Set by Altenew. First, I stamped the outline layer on an A2 card base using Obsidian Pigment Ink. Below are the inks I used for the rest of the layers:
Second layer:
Cupcake – Vanilla Cream and Hazelnut
Frosting – Sand Dunes
Wrapper – Dusk
Third layer:
Frosting – Mocha
Wrapper – Desert Night
Fourth layer:
Frosting – Espresso
Next, I masked the cupcake and the top portion of the card panel. Then I added the shadow using Silver Stone Crisp Dye ink along with a small ink blending tool.
To create the golden confetti in the background, I unmasked the top portion, placed the Tiny Bubbles Stencil on the card panel and lightly inked the cardstock using Citrus Burst Crisp Ink along with a blender brush.
After that, I used my Polychromos pencils – 186, 183, 108, 185, 101 to add depth to the confetti. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
I have listed the products used below. Thank you so much for joining me today. Be sure to visit this month’s challenge post for more inspiration from the design team. Have a fabulous day and eat a cupcake or two.🧁
