Cupcake Kiki La Rue

Happy Monday and 4th of July to all my American friends! Today I'm sharing with you what I created using two challenges. The first one being the sketch challenge from Sweet Sunday Sketch and the second being a colour challenge from CR84FN. Here is the sketch I followed ...

And here are the colours that I incorporated ...

And here is what I came up with ...

I really have to start off by saying how much I LOVE X-Press it card blending paper from Copic. I placed a small order of 10 sheets just to try it out and now I refuse to use anything else. The blending capabilities are phenomenal, layer after layer of colours ... it's awesome! So obviously now you know that I used x-press it paper to colour my cute little Cupcake Kiki La Rue (from All That Scraps) with my Copic markers. Like I said ... I love it! I am by far a great Copic marker colour er, however using the x-press it paper makes a difference in my opinion.

I used Echo Park paper along with some from Bella Blvd. and Little Yellow Bicycle which I thought went together nicely. I made the little flower using a lg., med., and sm. flower punch from EK Success. For the centre of the flower I used a glitter dot from Stamping Bella and coloured the top of it with a matching colour Copic. To finish everything off I added some Stickles to Kiki's cupcake and also to the centre of the flower in her hair. Here are a couple of close ups of the punched flower dot and the sparkle to her cupcake ...

Well  have to run now but I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today. Thanks for stopping by as always!

Until next time,
