LOL…today’s Magnolia Down Under challenge (#8) has the theme *Cupcake* hence the reason for today’s title :) I had to buy this *Love Muffin* stamp especially for today’s challenge…well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!!!!
Here’s the card I made:
Of course I had to make a chocolate cupcake (I don’t believe there is any other kind of cake…LOL) and I love green and pink with chocolate, so that took care of the colour scheme. Hope you like it :)
Cardstock: Pixie Pink, Chocolate Chip, Neenah Solar Crest (for the cupcake)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Chocolate Chip and Copic Markers
Stamps: Magnolia *Love Muffin*, Odd Bird Planet sentiment
Other Stuff: Wide Satin Choc Chip Ribbon, Designer Label punch, American Crafts Button (coloured with Copic marker), Linen thread, Certainly Celery DSP & brads, Dimensionals.

Nope. Rainy & miserable here too. But, I'm babysitting my granddaughter today and she's a ray of sunshine.
Love the card. You're right... green, pink & chocolate - YUMMO!
Hugs,
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Kristie! Love the bold colors and the button detail is fantastic! {SMILES}
Hi Kristie, just popped by to say a big 'thank you' for taking the time to leave a very useful comment on my blog. As suggested, I'll get my act together and get Windows Live Writer happening. BTW - like your blog. Your cards are gorgeous. You're one very talented woman!! Lee :)
I love that stamp! And your color combo is awesome.
The rain here finally stopped, and the weekend has been glorious. I have all the windows and doors open to let in the Spring.
Hope you enjoyed your nap! Rainy days are the BEST for that!
Fabulous card, great colours
That card is YUMMY! This has your signature style that I love. I wish I were voting, because I would choose you :)
Yes, of course chocolate SHOULD be the only choice. When I was a little girl, my mom would always get vanilla ice cream and I always got chocolate. Every time I would ask my mom (incredulously), "Why did you get VANILLA?" She always replied, "Because I like it." I still don't get it. Why do they even make vanilla??? Chocolate is the only logical option.
I rarely get chocolate milk shakes because they use VANILLA ice cream with chocolate syrup. Do these numskulls actually think I can't taste the vanilla???! Life is so unfair...
Loved you card Kristie - it looks way too delicious to someone trying to lose weight!!
Thanx for posting my blog candy too - hopefully this time 1 is a lucky number!!!
xXx
Great card. The choccy ribbon almost looks edible. Lovely details with you embellishments. Cute stamp too.
WOW, fabulous card Kristie - just love those colours together!!
I like the way you've added the big satin bow and the button to finish it off and the cupcake looks so yummy :-)
Loved your layout this week, love ribbons and bows.
that is a GORGEOUS CARD by anyone's reckoning...but that CUPCAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think i'll be needing that stamp. like NOW!!!!!!!
