Rainbow Cupcakes | Ericka Stange

Hello everyone, Ericka here with a fun rainbow cupcake card I made using lots of vibrant Coloringz and Spritz.

I love all these gorgeous rainbow of colors. I started by stamping the Visible Image cupcakes on Bristol Smooth paper and heat embossing them with some clear sparkle. Then I had fun spraying the cupcakes with several layers of color using the following sprays:

Coloringz - Lil' Yellow Skool Bus and Pink Stilettos
Spritz - 4 Leaf Clover, Sapphire, and Cotton Candy

I fussy cut out each of the cupcakes and added then to my stenciled background with foam tape.

I added the Visible Image Happy Birthday sentiment and heat embossed it with WOW Blue Glitz for some more shine.

As a finishing touch, I added these adorable clay polymer Wildflowers from Miss Ink. They are so tiny and adorable!

Thanks for stopping by and check out my blog Strangely Creative for more information on the products I used. Also don't forget we have a Spring Forward Challenge coming up in March! Join us as we create projects without ANY patterned paper.

Can Spring inspired projects produce Spring weather?

Hi Everyone, it is Beck BT here again this week.  I'm still trying to encourage Spring weather to hit us down in Melbourne with a love of sharing spring inspired projects.  I'm hoping it might work something like a rain dance because gee the weather has been so cold windy and wet so far this season. This week I am sharing with you a card with a cool wood veneer altering technique using Shimmerz products of course!!

I've created a video so you can see how I altered the wood veneer as well as how my card came together.

Shimmerz Products used:

Texturez paste in Patina

Vibes Sprays in 'Taupe of the mornin'

Here are some step pictures getting you nice and up close to that wood veneer altering process.

The process:

Add Texturez paste to the wood veneer piece liberally.

Apply a heat gun to the area allowing the paste to bubble up and then shrink back down

Apply a spray of the Shimmerz Vibes spray in a contrasting color

Wipe over very gently with a wet wipe to remove some of the vibes spray and allow the paste color to show through

Add as a beautiful embellishment to your project as seen on this card

It was so much fun creating this card, so I can't help but share more pictures.  I adore how the wood veneer pieces came.  They made the perfect accent to the sweet florals on the card.

What do you get inspired by?  Maybe you can find some inspiration from your local weather!
