A Day for Daisies

CIC158

Does the sight of butter cream icing send shivers down your spine?  It makes me weak in the knees.  Cream cheese frosting is just killer.  The other day I broke down and purchased one of those mini cupcake makers.  While I was in line the woman behind asked me something about it and all I could say was it seemed like it might be better to have a few small cupcakes in the house than one huge cake.  Cause in my mind if you eat a dozen tiny cuppies it's not the same as one big cake.  That's my logic and it works for me, don't try to tell me otherwise.  Thank goodness my doctor isn't into crafts and probably won't ever see this post, she'd be wagging her finger at me.
This week Cupcake Inspirations CIC158 has a new sponsor, by A Day for Daisies.  Lots of adorable stamps to choose from, it was really hard picking just one for this challenge.  If you win this week you're going to have a fun time shopping. 

This image is "New Umbrella", one of many umbrella images.  But you don't have to use an umbrella in your creation, just be inspired by something about the photo.  While I was visiting the ADFD shop I was taken with the mermaid images and thought about using one of them, the color scheme is good for anything to do with the sea.  It's also good for boys.  Go where your imagination takes you and share the results with us by posting your card.

don't forget the inside

When you use a dark card stock for your card base it's a good idea to finish the inside of your card with at least a piece of white card stock.  If you have a large stash of paper why not make it a little bit fancier and use some of it on the inside.  This one is pretty simple but I've visited blogs where I've seen insides of cards that look better than the faces of mine.
