This week at Global Design Project is a theme challenge. We were challenged to create a card with a theme of cooking, baking, and making. I started this challenge the same way I begin all challenges--taking inventory of what I have that fits the challenge. I settle on the Sprinkles of Life stamp set. I love using the great sentiment in that set about the cupcakes: "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cupcakes and that's kind of the same thing." I personally don't even like cupcakes, but I do love that sentiment and I love to look at all the creative cupcakes out there. I even like to watch Cupcake Wars.
I wanted to use the marbling technique for this card, but I only wanted to use a strip of the marbled paper. So, I used a larger piece of whisper white and marbled the entire thing and then got to choose the 4.25" x 1.5" piece that I thought would look best on this card. I used the same ink colors for the sprinkles on the cupcake that I used for the marbling to tie them together. I also gold embossed the cupcake paper as well as the sentiment to add just a touch of sparkle and help tie all the elements together.

The marbling on your project looks like the frosting/icing that would go on top of a cupcake! A wonderful technique, Angel and wonderful Theme Challenge project. Thankyou for playing along with this weeks GDP Challenge.
