Mmm...Cupcakes!


Pastel colours...that's the challenge over at 'Less is More' this week. So I sat looking through my stamps, papers, flowers and finally came up with this cute cupcake card! The stamp was free with the DoCrafts mag last month. I ditched the promarkers for a change and reverted back to my trusty watercolour pencils (which I got from the pound shop!) I very simply coloured the image as I felt this particular design didn't need to be over fussy.
This is probably the simplest and quickest card I have ever made, but I like it! I hope you do too :)

Have a great weekend crafting, blogging or whatever you're doing. I'm off to spend it with my my gorgeous Son and my Mum and Dad in Huddersfield!

    Gorgeous card, lovely cupcakes. I work at a poundshop and have seen these watercolour pencils but thought they`d be no good. Might have to grab some now.
