Hybrid Card

Sorry I haven’t been posting that much lately.  Just finished off my winter quarter (this week is spring break) and I had 3 workshops this past week too!  BUSY…REALLY BUSY!!!  But it is over so I’m going to do a little STAMPIN’!

This is for the CAS challenge on SCS.  This week is an inspiration challenge.  You’ll have to check out the CAS challenge thread to see the inspiration piece.  But it did have fun ‘spring’ colors and CUPCAKES!  Now as I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, I knew I wanted a fun little cupcake image but I didn’t have anything that was the size I wanted so I decided to do a ‘hybrid’ card using My Digital Studio!  I found this adorable cupcake image in Calendar kit and could resize to work with my design.  I had never tried do a ‘stamp’ in two different colors so I had to learn that before I could work my design up and it worked!  The bases of the cupcakes are in Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, and Wisteria Wonder and the ‘icing’ is Chocolate Chip.  Once I had my cupcakes done I exported to .jpg, opened in publisher and printed out.  Then I could punch them out with my 1″ Circle punch to use in my design.  The base of card is Whisper White.  I took another piece of Whisper White and stamped the greeting using Chocolate Chip and added this to the card front using dimensionals.  I punched a piece of Pretty in Pink with the Scallop Edge punch and added to the card front and added a strip of Chocolate Chip as an accent.  I added the cupcakes to the card front using dimensionals and added some rhinestones to finish it off!
