CIC41 - Monkey Love


Are you ready to be "inspired!"  Take a look at these delectably delightful cupcakes brought to you by Snowy for this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge over on Hope Stamps Eternal.  I just love the wonderful color these cupcakes have so I pulled my inspiration from the colors and the lines in the frosting/cupcake wrappers.


I wanted to use another of the cute $1 stamps from Inkadinkado that I found at JoAnn's.  Isn't this Monkey just adorable!  The paper I picked is from S.E.I.'s Mimosa line.  I think the colors in this pattern (Margarita Glitter) match the colors of the cupcake's icing pretty darn close. 
I chose this TESC sketch as my starting point. 
The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils.  I raised the monkey's head up with dimensional tape for some added interest. 
At the bottom I added 3 small punched hearts and 3 gorgeous pink gem hearts (Annabelle Stamps).

I hope you'll visit Hope's blog and take a try at this fun cupcake challenge (Use of cupcake stamps not required) and be sure to leave some comment lovin to those who participate as well.
