Welcome to this month's Blast from the Past blog hop with Taylored Expressions!
You all know I can't resist an opportunity to work with my beloved Cuppie images. This is from the must have set A Year of Sweets 2. I actually made my own sentiment on the computer using some fonts I purchased years ago for scrap-booking. I knew that purchase would come in handy one of these days (or years!) LOL! I used my Martha Stewart wing edger stars punch for the bottom underneath the sentiment. I love that punch! There's only one piece of patterned paper on my card too. Another favorite of mine - Doodlebug Designs.
Here's a close up of Cuppie. To get the white border, I air brushed my image with B41 while it was still in my circle nestability. Once I was done I removed it and viola! For added effect, you can see how I used different colored Stickles on my fireworks and and Taylor's Twinkles for the centers of my bursts.
Wishing you a fabulous 4th:
