My first Blog challenge!

Hi everyone,

i was encouraged yesterday to enter a blog challenge! (you know who you are he he ;-).... couldn't sleep all night thinking shall i? can i do this? ....of course i can i thought when i awoke this morning! ... so here it is!
the Glitter Geek theme is a sketch challenge, i have turned the sketch at an opposite angle, i used a lili of the valley stamp, coloured with pro markers and matt and layered onto a die cut shape, cut a tag shape by hand and embossed and distressed it using dusty Concorde and walnut stain distress inks, with a little lace edge trimming (couldn't resist) glitter and gems to accent this card. The small sentiment is also a lili of the valley stamp and i wanted a subtle greeting so i think its quite fitting for this card ....I really enjoyed taking part in this weeks challenege and  i hope i've met the requirements...wish me luck Bloggers ....X

My mind wandered off to my child hood days when  Mum and I would spend Sunday afternoons making  butterfly cakes, then it came to me, make paper craft cakes, my regular magnolia magazine had come yesterday and that's where I got the inspiration from! ...here is the finished cupcake, however I have more ingredients on the go and I will add the pictures as I go along! You can be sure....I am entering this cupcake into this months Sir Stampalot's blog challenge’ this will be my second ever Blog challenge entry .....wish me luck....I'll be back soon Bloggers have Fun crafting! ....X
