Images: Cupcake, drinks, sentiment: Scribbles

Designs

EF: Cuttlebug swiss dots (my first ever EF)

Paperpiecing: liquid & cupcake wrapper

Copics: cherry and shading

Also: Glossy Accents (cherry), and WinkOfStella (icing),

patterned papers, white pigment pen for highlights.

My assignment was to be inspired by special food at Christmas.   In New Zealand we have a summer Christmas and it just so happens to coincide with fresh cherries coming into shops.  So for this card I have combined the delicious cherry on a cupcake (with cream cheese icing) and a nice cool drink while we swelter in the heat under a shady tree  (sigh).  

 The image is printed three times, twice on card and once in part onto patterned paper for piecing.  Shading is added with Copics in similar colours.  WoS is applied to the icing, and Glossy Accents to the cherry (oh yum).  The cupcake is raised on 3D foam.

Scribbles designs has kindly provided this fabulous image, here:  scribblesdesigns

After printing and colouring it, I masked the image, sponging, spritzing & splattering (lovely fun) around the cat with distress inks and Perfect Pearls heirloom gold so it has a lovely shimmer plus splots.  I did the irises over with WoStella.
