Who doesn't love cupcakes? Show me someone who doesn't love cupcakes and I'll show you someone who is seriously twisted. Probably hates puppies. And has their toilet paper coming from underneath the roll. In other words, don't bother to reply with a lame explanation regarding your disdain for cupcakes. I'll just wonder about your other perversions - even the good ones.
Colored pencils with Stickles glitter glue on top. Notice a little gray shading around the edges of the wrappers to give a little depth. I popped a couple of the cupcakes up with foam tape partially for the dimension but also so I wouldn't have to mask the image. If I'm going to have to cut one out, it might as well be the real thing and not a mask.
Clearly people don't read. Several posts ago I mentioned my kitchen renovation. I posted a picture of a random kitchen which I found online and mentioned that it was NOT my kitchen but I still got several replies to congratulate me on how beautiful it was! I guess there are people out there who think my pet poodles Paprika and Peyote really exist. Anyway, I am still awaiting a countertop which, for some reason, takes a month from measurement to delivery. What is this, Russia? If it gets installed before I shrivel up and die I'll take some real photos. Meanwhile, keep reading - I may insert a secret message meant just for you!
Why in the world would anyone not read every word of your posts??? I have to read it just to get my punch of your dry humor. I have always suspicioned that there are hidden, secret message is your post anyway! LOL Love your card, Mark. I would rather add dimension than mask any day. Good stuff! Best, Curt

Puleeze! While the pictured kitchen was clean enough, it was larger than your house and had no personality at all. How could ANYONE possibly think it was yours? Yours would pop with tasteful personality!!!

I beg to differ with you on the masking. If you had made one mask you wouldn't have had to cut out TWO cupcakes. Besides that, there's a little sense of accomplishment when you stamp over the mask, lift it up and voila! It worked! Great card and brilliant idea of the gray shading for depth.
PS...didn't think for one minute that could be your kitchen. People need to read your every word, not just skim. They're missing some good stuff!

LOVE the card! Hated the kitchen! It was soooooo magaziney and had NO imagination. No way could it have been yours! Yours will be wonderful and hopefully have a purple ceiling.
Love the ribbon and bow on this one, gotta get some of that, did you leave me some at Stamp Solado? Hope I can make that sort of a bow without it getting bulky. :)
