Halloween Sweets

 


Hello again!  I just happened to be looking at the Simon Says website for dies from Whimsy Stamps, and this great Halloween Cupcake stamp set called, Spooky Sweets popped up.  I didn't even think twice about it - add to cart!  

These cupcakes were so fun to color!  As I was shading the white frosting, my marker was a little to juicy and it left a huge splotch just under his little mouth - yikes!  I had already colored everything so I was just a wee bit miffed.  Rather that start all over on another one, I just did some additional shading on his face and I turned out really cute.  So that was a happy mistake for sure.  

I used Copic markers for to color the cupcakes in the following colors:

  • T2, T5, T7
  • V01, V04, V06
  • YG00, YG01, YG03
  • Y15, Y19, YR04
  • Y00, Y02, Y04, Y17
  • E13, E17, E18
  • B01, B04, B05, B06

I liked the way the cupcakes looked in front of the Slimline Marquee Die from Whimsy Stamps.  I decided to make it a shaker card with each opening  filled with a different colored glitter.  I like to make my shaker cards by layering 5 to 6 pieces of cardstock cut with the same die.  Once I have those layered, I will adhere them to a base, fill the wells with glitter, place acetate on top with the patterned paper on top of the acetate.  Easy peasy.  

Once I had my shaker card made, I then glued the cupcakes on top.  

That is pretty much all there is to this card,  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
