Cupcake 128 DT card and challenges

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend and are ready for your weekly Cupcake! It is Kathrin's turn to choose the theme and she has chosen "Seeing red", so your card must include red! We are being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp who are offering the winner a $20 gift voucher to spend in their superstore! Since it is our first challenge for February, we also have a new monthly sponsor for the Icing on the Cupcake- Crafts U Love who are generously offering a £15 gift voucher to the lucky winner! Good reasons to join, don't you think:-)?

Bonjour à toutes! J'espère que vous avez passé un bon week-end et êtes prêtes pour votre Cupcake hebdomadaire! Kathrin a choisi le thème "rouge", votre carte doit inclure la couleur rouge! Nous sommes sponsorisés par Simon Says Stamp qui offre un bon d'achat de $20 au gagnant, et pour la Cerise sur le Gâteau, comme c'est le premier challenge de février, nous avons un nouveau sponsor, Crafts U Love qui offre un  bon d'achat de £15! Ca en fait des raisons de participer, vous ne trouvez pas:-)?

The close up and recipe.. Gros plan et ingrédients...

Images: CC Designs Violet With Key and Key & Lock (sentiment and heart)

Copics: BG000, 10, 11, 13, 15, C0, 1, 3, E000, 00, 11, 31, 33, 35, 37, 51, R20, 22, 24, 27, 29, Y26, 28

DP: BoBunny

Punches: MS Doily Lace, MS Lace Heart (pieces for the 2 little hearts)

Other: Star Dust Stickles, Diamond Glaze, pearls

The heart left of the image is a digi and I "reverted?" inverted it (thank you Jennifer:-)) to create a mirror image and get the heart on  the right. I also added Diamond Glaze to them and the little punched hearts. As for the image, I actually made 2, one for the background (using Copics around the image), and another one that I coloured, cut out, and mounted on foam for more dimension... That was inspired by a tutorial I saw on the amazingly talented Mary's blog:-).

Le coeur à gauche de l'image est un digi que j'ai "inversé" pour créer un coeur symétrique, à droite de l'image. Tous deux, ainsi que les 2 petits coeurs perforés ont été recouverts de vernis Diamond Glaze. Quant à l'image, j'en ai fait 2, une coloriée très grossièrement pour le fond autour de laquelle j'ai utilisé mes Copics pour essayer de donner un peu de relief, et une 2e coloriée, découpée, collée sur mousse 3D pour avoir plus de dimension. Je me suis inspirée d'un tutoriel vu sur le blog de l'impressionante Mary.

The challenges I would like to enter are:

All That Scraps - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp - Love is in the Air

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - #8 Love is in the Air

Cupcake #123 - DT card:-)!!!

Hello all, I hope you are well? Yes, I have had a fantastic Christmas gift... and I am starting the new year as a Cupcake DT member! When Faye invited me to stay, I did not think for a second, and just screamed YES! I had a great time with those lovely ladies in December and I am so happy to be able to continue "working" with them! Thank you!

Bonjour à toutes! J'espère que vous allez bien? Oui, j'ai eu un beau cadeau de Noël... je commence l'année avec une carte en tant que DT chez Cupcake! Quand Faye m'a proposé de rester, je n'ai pas hésité une seconde, j'ai crié OUI! Je suis super contente de continuer à "travailler" avec cette équipe adorable! Merci!

This week the very talented Catherine would like to see your white cards, the theme being "White is White". You can use other colours but your card must mainly be white. There is a fabulous prize again this week, a $20 gift voucher generously offered by Simon Says Stamp, with free shipping! And, this month, introducing the Icing on the Cupcake, you even have a second chance to win a fantastic prize given by our very own star, Victoria! All the details can be found here! 

"Vive le Blanc"! C'est le thème cette semaine, notre talentueuse Catherine voudrait voir des cartes principalement blanches! Vous pourrez peut-être gagner un bon d'achat chez Simon Says Stamp de $20 (avec frais de port offerts)!  Et ce mois-ci, avec La Cerise sur le Gâteau, vous avez une 2e chance de gagner un prix fantastique offert par notre Victoria en personne! Tous les détails sont là!
