Cupcakes and Coffee

Morning crafty friends! I'm back this week with my final posting as a digi design team member for Stamplorations. I have had so much fun designing for them, their images are just absolutely beautiful and today's images are probably my favorite! For this week's card I am featuring the Cupcake Blooms and Coffee Digital Stamp, which is actually a free digital stamp you can get from the store which features a coffee cup with flowers as well as a cupcake with a strawberry on top. 

 
I ended up making two cards with this digital stamp, for the first card I used the whole digi but for the second I only used the cupcake. I love the original digi but I am obsessed with this cupcake, the amount of detail in the frosting and the strawberry just blew me away, so I knew I wanted to have a card that was just all cupcake. I really love how I was able to make two completely different cards with the same image. I colored in both images with copic markers, the colors I used are below:
BV01, BV02, BV13, R17, R46, R29, G82, G85, G94, E25, E27, E57, R83, R85, R56, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4

For both cards I used the Altenew Watercolor Stripes Cover Die to add some texture to my background. I ended up just die cutting from white card stock, but I think doing another color would be beautiful as well. For the first card I ended up coloring in two of the cupcake images, I laid them out on my card base and really thought it was just missing something. So I took my MFT Fab Foliage Die-namics and cut two shades of green card stock to stick behind the cupcake images. I just love the way this card came out, I love how adding the foliage really just made the cupcakes pop. I adhered the foliage to my card base with liquid adhesive leaving the top few leaves with no adhesive so they will be lifted up and add dimension. I adhered the cupcake in the back directly to my card base but the front one I used foam adhesive to give even more dimension.

For the second card I loved the giant coffee cup and wanted to add the same foliage behind it, this time I also die cut some gold glitter card stock. Adhering the foliage with liquid adhesive as before, and foam adhesive for the coffee cup image. For both sentiments I used some sentiment stamps I had and stamped them with VersaFine black ink. Finally to finish off each card I scattered  a variety of purple, green and a few pink sequins.
