It’s the sweet simple things in life which are the real ones
afterall.
When I read that quote I
had to think about cupcakes.
And as it happens I had
already some stamped and colored cupcakes laying around on my desk (I think
almost a year or so, I thought to use it for my birthday calendar but didn’t
eventually, luckily I hardly ever throw anything away because it was perfect
for what I had in mind).
I painted my primed page
turquoise using a credit card, added gesso through a butterfly stencil in which
I sprinkled some glitter (because what’s sweeter in life than some glittery
butterflies??)
Then used my new made
cherry blossom stencil again (just love it), glued the cupcakes which I glammed
up with some silver stickles and the quote down.
As I stepped back and
looked at the page I felt it was missing something so I added some more
stamping in the upper corners, wasn’t enthusiastic about that so I added some
pearl in some of the dots and think it’s okay now.
Thanks for stopping by,
make sure to check all the other wonderful entries over here.
