Happy Chocolate Cupcakes!

Yum!

I'm so excited! Taylor VanBruggen (Taylored Expressions), asked me to be her Featured Cupcake Sampler this week! How cool is that?! I'm so honored!

So she gave a fabulous sketch here:

and I created this!

I started with the cute cupcake platter from Crazy for Cupcakes, watercolored the chocolate icing and paper pieced the wrappers. Then I cut it all out carefully, cutting off the legs of the platter so that it fit the sketch better and popped it up on the DP ovals (cut with my Coluzzle).

Taylor's sketch has buttons....if you know me you know I am button challenged. I just don't quite know why...I just rarely use them. But here I added a couple on each side and gave them a little zing by adding Crystal Effects dots on the opposite sides of the holes. I also added CE on the edge of the Kiwi Kiss oval and on the cherries. Can you see it a little? It gives it great shine and dimension.

Yummy ribbon and piercing. All a girl needs for the sweetest cupcakes!

Thanks again Taylor! You're a gem!

Come play in this weeks sketch with me at Taylor's blog!
