Celebrate card for CAS(E) this Sketch! no. 2

Yay! It's time for the second CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge. I love their simple sketches and I'm so amazed by the great interpretations from everyone designing and playing.  The sketches are a bit challenging for me (hence the name!) because they are so simple and I feel like my CAS cards sometimes lack that special "something".  I have to keep reminding myself that this is exactly why this is good for me if I want to keep improving my skills.  It wouldn't be fun if everything was easy-peasy, right?  Anyways, to all the other players and designers, I'm so impressed by your cards, you inspire me!  Here's mine for this week:


Here's the challenge sketch: 



I cut the cupcake with my Cameo (*love*) and hand cut the bits of confetti.  The stamp is from a Stampin' Up retired set called Curvy Verses.  The "sprinkles" on the cupcake were made with something I've had for a while but haven't found a use for, they are microbeads by Martha Stewart.  They're super shiny and cute and they're a bit like glitter but unique.  I think they'll be great for snow on some winter cards, can't wait to try them again.  The camera really doesn't show how shimmery they are.  Here's a closer look:



I stamped the sentiment in SU Chocolate Chip ink and covered the heart with glossy accents.  I can't seem to get enough of that stuff lately, love it!  

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. This is so cute and sweet! Love your card. I too love using glitter and I too always feel like the camera doesn't capture how gorgeous it really looks in person.
