Owl Wish You a Happy Thanksgiving!

Cupcake Inspirations #86

Another cupcake entry.  Just love those inspirations!  I  found the owl stamp, a bargain bin find!   The branch of leaves I stamped in brown then stamped the owl on top.  I restamped the branch and leaves in the orange and yellow colors, cut out the leaves, trimmed them with a brown marker and then stuck them on top of the brown leaves.  I decided to do a little recycling by picking acorns out of my front yard for the embellishments with the leather string.

SPIES:

Stamps:  Owl - Studio G; Branch of leaves -Inkadinkadoo; Sentiment:  TPC.
Paper:  DP: - K&Co.;  Brown suede; brown, yellow gold, cream cardstock.

Ink:  Timber Brown; Tangerine; Buttercup.

Paisley Pal - Cupcake Inspiration

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #64

My first attempt at a Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.  I began with one idea and wound up with something totally different at the end!  Everything started with the white paisley and coordinating brown and blue stripe DP paper from DCWV.  I couldn't find any green paper  in my stash except for this one tiny piece.  So, I chose to stamp it with Sophie's clear stamp from Bo Bunny in brown and teal blue.  I used the same stamp and inks to stamp some of the flower dies also.  I outlined everything mostly in brown ink for a more worn and shabby look.  The bird die  I cut in brown for his base, then applied the paisley to his body and the stripes to his tail. 

SPIES:
Stamps:  flower bouquet - 'Sophie' from Bo Bunny.  Sentiment - Inkadinkadoo.
Paper:  DP - Die Cuts With A View; brown cardstock, teal cardstock, light green DP from stash.
Ink:  brown and teal blue from Hampton Arts
Extras:  buttons, teal gem; green gems; wire jumpring, pearl brad, brown ribbon.


Have a Cupcake kind of day!
