This time our inspiration comes from this yummy cupcakes !!

I created 2 cards for this Hop and I pretty much got inspired by the colors of these cupcakes.

Card #1: Happy Birthday.

This is a CAS card. I took the circle shape and colors to make this simple yet elegant card. The sketch comes from CAS blog and I used my Copic Markers, LOL. I just bought few markers and I am in love!!

  Die-cut circle card shape. Die-cut also matting cardstock and patterned paper.

This card has a Vintage-shabby look and I really love how it turned out. I used the sketch from 2S4U. Again, I used a couple of Copic Markers to color the Poinsettia. I think it looks pretty, but I need more practice using these new babies :)
