Love You With A Cherry On Top!

I made this cute card today with Lindsay's Cherry on Top cupcake digi stamp. I paper pieced it using some scraps I had left over from previous projects. I opened the stamp in my photo shop program and cropped the image so that it would fit on the scrap. I printed the cupcake "paper" on patterned paper and cut it out. Then I printed the cupcake and frosting on a piece of lavender paper and cut it out. I colored the cupcake brown and the cherry red using my Bic Mark Its. I then punched three squares and stamped (studio g) cherries on two of them and the sentiment on a third. I also colored these with my Bic pens. Next, I cut pieces of different color purple papers and glued them on my card base. Lastly, I colored the cherries with red stickles and highlighted the frosting with clear stickles. Quick and easy!

You can get this great digi stamp and lots of others at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. She's having a special for the month of May: Spend $5 get a stamp for free. So for every $5 you spend you can pick a stamp for free, spend $10 get 2 free stamps! So don't wait, hop on over now and start digi stamping!

Hi Tracey! I did a double take when I saw the paper peicing, looks good, at first I thought you colored it! I like the mix of digi and traditional, lovely colors too!
