Seize the Cucake!

I'm scheduling this so fingers crossed Mr Blogger does his bit. Yet another of my late night coloured images, this is Cupcakes by LOTV and I had to try out a couple of new Copic pen colours on it, Sketch pens RV63 and RV66 on her shoes and the hat flower as well as the little cupcakes at the back of the stand. I love this colour and it works so well with the chocolate browns too - now where can I buy those shoes!

Our challenge this week on Cute Card Thursday is birthstones, and with an April birthday mine is diamond .. .. not got too many of those however, but I do love pink gems and the pale amethyst stone called Rose de France is echoed in my colouring. Or it could be pink Sapphire, or perhaps Kunzite, Morganite, a deep Rose Quartz, all are my favourites! So in addition to punching out the Nellie Snellen poinsettia flowers and X-cut ivy leaves I've added lots of clear diamanté sparkle for my birthstone. I've also added a layer of clear glaze pen on the cup and saucer, the stamens in the centre of her hat flower, the decoration on the cupcakes and little bits on her shoes. The papers are by Designer Digitals and the stamped text is from a clear set in my stash, I think it might be Hero Arts but I've binned the packaging. Do pop over to the CCT blog to see what birthstones the rest of the DT have used on their creations.

The Copic colours I used:
skintones - E000, 00, 21, R00
hair and brown bits - E70, 71, 74
pinks - RV000, 00, 63, 66
hat, socks and cake stand doily - YR30, 31, 21
cupcake papers - E40, 81
shadow - Y0000 and Y00 to match the hint of yellow in the patterned paper

As well as CCT I can enter my card in the Sweet Stampin' challenge for food and at Totally Stampalicious where anything goes!
