Cupcake Craft Challenge 91...Blooming Charming


Good morning everyone...I hope you all had a wonderful weekend...it was my 23rd wedding anniversary yesterday and the four of us went for a lovely Sunday lunch which was so scrummy and filling there was no room for dessert...I made up for it later though by having a chocolate cupcake...yum yum! There are more celebrations to come this week as today is my birthday and tomorrow is hubby's birthday...it's always a mad 3 days but we kinda like it that way!

Shelly has chosen this weeks theme over at the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog...it's a fab theme called BLOOMING CHARMING...which means we want you to use blooms and charms on your cards. I have always struggled in the past using charms on my cards as I could never attach the links properly...I bought myself some small jewellery pliers which I used for the first time on this card and I have to say it was soooo easy...I'll deffo be using them more in the future now! We are sponsored by Lauretta's Digital Stamps this weeks and one lucky winner will be able to choose 4 digi images from their shop!

Digi Image : Digi Stamp Boutique (Spike & Flower)
Design Papers : Shabby Princess (Twirl)
Rose Card Stock : Papermill
Colouring Medium : Promarkers
Embellishments : Lace, Ribbon, Flowers, Charm, Brad, Pearls & Spacer from my Craft Stash!
Tools : SU! Scalloped border Punch & Scalloped Square Nestability

Donna, first - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope today is just another fun way to celebrate with loads of goodies brightening the path! What a gorgeous card. I love how you speckled the fur of this cute little hedgehog - I thought it was flocked at first - very clever! I love the papers and the flower is so well coordinated; a perfectly lovely card! Also, Happy Anniversary - great way to celebrate though; a constant party during the week - how fun is that?!
