I'm a little bit earlier this week!

Woohoo!!! I managed to get a card made for this weeks Inspirational Card Sketches Challenge #14, well before the deadline! Things are looking up, lol! And at last my mojo seems to be well and truly returned and is raring to go, phew!

So, it was another great sketch this week from Dawn and here is what I came up with - be warned you might need some sunglasses for this one!!!


The papers are from this months card kit from Sarah's cards, I love these! So bright and sunny, they are Pebbles Inc Merrily papers. Everything on the card apart from the Papermania pearls and blue rhinestones are from the kit and the gorgeous cupcake and sentiment are fab printable stamps from The Cutting Cafe. I also used my Nesties Labels 4 for the white panel (gorgeous!). Here is a close up of the cupcake to show the dimension to it.

This paper piecing technique was used by the lovely Danni, one of my fellow Cuttlebug Challenge DT members, and she explains it perfectly here. It works perfectly for this cupcake with just a little bit of Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing to enhance it further! I'm really pleased with how this has turned out and Dawn's great sketches always allow for you to add that little bit extra to your card that finishes it off perfectly!

Well, I'm going to head off now as I have a few bits and pieces to see to ahead of the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot first annual Spa event. I can't believe it's just about here already! Things kick off tomorrow at 8:00 am EST, 1:00pm GMT with a fab blog hop with tonnes of great prizes, then it's a weekend packed full of wonderful inspiration and more amazing prizes to be won! So, clear your diary and make sure you don't miss it, it's going to be so much fun!!!
