These Sketch Challenges have really got me motivated again! I find myself really doing my own thing, instead of just looking for good stuff to copy (although that's not always a bad idea either!).
So this card is made with the Create a Cupcake set and punch, and the colors Soft Suede, Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake. I also used a bit of Red Glimmer Paper (perfect for the cherry on top!), a Bitty Button, and a Subtles pink brad.

And the close-up of the cupcake shows the "frosting" technique we've done before! Remember - "green glue" and embossing powder? Although, this time I just used Clear Embossing Powder.
*Edited to Add: To make the frosting, use the Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue, aka "green glue" just swirling it around in the area you want frosting. Then cover the glue with embossing powder. I used Clear, but you could use iridescent ice, a mixed color, whatever... Then heat the embossing powder. Kinda fun because it gives a little puffier look than regular embossing.
(This was a technique in a Stampin' Success)
