Cupcake Wishes – Graciellie Design

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great start to the week! Today I have a fun birthday card for you using the beautiful, fun, and adorable Cupcake Wishes set by Graciellie Design: https://gracielliedesign.shop/product/cupcake-wishes-digital-stamp-set/

I love this fun digital set as the cupcake was fun to color and decorate! I enjoyed making an oversized image and off set the image to the right of the card a bit. This set is perfect for anyones birthday, you could color it up to make this for a masculine card as well, or even for a little ones birthday!

I started by stamping my image on Bristol Smooth paper. I then chose a variety of colors to add details to my cupcake. I used a combination of my Arteza real brush pens and colored pencils. I recently took the Online Road trip card class and I truly loved it. I learned so much from Kathy Racoosin. In the class she talked a lot about color plucking and using pencils to add more details to the nooks and crannies. This is truly one of my favorite techniques now, it truly adds more details and dimension! I encourage you to give it a try! Once I had completed my coloring, I used my Brother Scan and Cut to “cut” my image. I cut directly on the stamped image this time, as I did not want a border. I added stickles to the sprinkles for some more shine and interest.

I then used distressed oxide on my A2 panel. I blended the background using Squeezed Lemonade. I did add a little water to my blended background as well (sorry it is harder to see). I then stamped a birthday sentiment from Stampin Up (past Paper Pumpkin kit). I did add a little more stickles to the front panel for more interest!

I hope you enjoyed this fun cupcake! I encourage you to give digital stamps a try, if you need help or have questions feel free to reach out to me! Have a good week!
