Cupcake Challenge 140 & Hello Cupcake Blog Hop

Hello everyone, today on Cupcake Challenge 140 we have a theme of C for..... and this week we are sponsored by our regular sponsor Simon Says Stamp and they are giving us the fab prize of a $20 gift certificate. Also, this week we are having a "Hello Cupcake Blog Hop"......please see below for details and the fab candy that could be yours!


For my card I have chosen C for Christmas and I have used a cute stamp from Alota. It is coloured with copics and highlighted with icicle sticles. I have stuck with an all white theme and I have used gorgeous pearlised card so it has a lovely sheen in real life! I have used my snowflake folder for the embossing and I stitched around all the elements. I have finished off with some jewels and ribbon.

This month our icing on the cupcake prize is sponsored by Crafts U Love who are giving us a £15 voucher as a prize, and all you have to do is enter at least one of our challenges this month to be in with a chance to win.

And Finally.....the Hello Cupcake Blog Hop!
