Cupcake Inspirations 396 - CAT Themed Challenge!

Have you heard of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge? For each challenge they post a YUMMY cupcake photo and color combo for inspiration! Everybody likes cupcakes, right?

The current challenge going up today features CAT cupcakes and the theme is to use a cat in your project!

We're sponsoring this challenge so If you head over to their blog and play along you have a chance to win a $25 store credit to our store at newtonsnookdesigns.com! How awesome is that?

Of course I had to play along -- here's the card I created. Although the challenge didn't specifiy that you needed to use cupcakes I couldn't resist using an image from our newest cat themed set,  Newton Loves Cake since it features BOTH a cat and a cupcake! How perfect is that?! I colored the kitty with copic markers and trimmed out the image using the coordinating Newton Loves Cake Die Set. To create the card,  I cut out a couple of curvy hills using patterned paper and our Land Borders Die Set and added them to a white background. I then stamped the "happy birthday" sentiment, also from the Newton Loves Cake stamp set above the hills.

I decided I wanted to add in the "to my favorite cat lady" sentiment too so I cut a little banner out of yellow cardstock to add it to the card.  Then I finished it off with some colored sequins!

Make sure you pop over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog to see more fun today. We have several other NND Design Team members featured as "Guest Sweeties" for this challenge and a bunch of the regular "Sweeties" (that's what they call their Design Team -- cute, right?) are featuring Newton's Nook Designs stamps too!
