First Challenge at Doodle Dragon Studios

Good Morning crafters, hope everyone is well. I had a great birthday yesterday and received some stunning cards which I will share with you when I  post the result of my candy. I did spend some of my day crafting and here is the result. Dustin Pike a fantastic artist has finally started a challenge blog - Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog and the first challenge was to use a freebie image with a Valentine theme.

This is the image I was sent, he has been coloured with watercolour crayons and his wings have been glittered - I did glitter the growing cupcake but I notice the photo hasn't picked that up sorry! I wrote the sentiment, one because I didn't have one that said the right thing and two because the challenge at Paperplay Challenges is to use your own handwriting. I used a sakura stardust pen to write the sentiment.

I used the sketch at Cupcake Craft Challenges shown below. I have added extra embellishments as it looked rather bear! before.

I have used both my Spellbinders nestabilities - will have to get some more they are so good - to mount the image and for the circle at the side. I then embossed the glittery pink scallop using the Perfect Paisley Cuttlebug embossing folder and I am so pleased with the effect.

I have done a bit of punching too, I had to use my Xcut punches on the foam because the others didn't work!! The other flower is from the glittery pink card. I have further embellished the flowers with gems from Anita.

The hearts have been embellished using some flat backed pearls I received from Suzy, thanks hun.

 

They were the perfect colour for this card so just begged to be used!!! I am really pleased with the effect although it was very fiddly as they are tiny. The papers were from the now closed Funky Fairy's Christmas collection. I also used some Core'dinations Black Magic card heavily sanded to show the brown colour.
