Thursday Dream Scheme

For today's Designer's Choice, I chose a sweet treat.  And what could be better than a cupcake?  Well, three of them, all in a row, sounds pretty yummy to me.  



I started with the Cupcakes stencil (LL551) and dry embossed it using a Sizzix BIGkick.    With the stencil still in place, I inked the bottom of the cupcake using the two browns from the Hazy collection of Splendor ink by Tsukineko.   I repositioned the clean stencil over the cupcakes and covered the inked portion with a post-it and used a bit of removable tape to cover the chocolate kiss, cherry and candle to keep them clean while I applied a product called Mudd Puddles into which I added glitter to give it a little sparkle.  Before removing the stencil, I took off the tape and colored the chocolate kiss, cherry and candle with Copic markers and applied a layer of Diamond Glaze for added interest.

Be sure to check the other Dream Team members' blogs (see the sidebar on the right) and don't forget to stop by Dreamweaver Stencil's DREAM it UP blog to see what's on hand for today's Thursday Dream Scheme.

Happy crafting and see you next week,
Liz

  7. OH I have been WANTING to try Mudd Puddles with stencils for a year now--ever since Creative Imaginations announced that they were going to come up with an update of them. (So I have been waiting, and waiting--still no new Mudd Puddles.) Anyway, I love this card. In additon to the Mudd Puddles, I love the theme and the colors--it reminds me of summer. (Or maybe California is calling....)
