Cupcake Challenge Time

This week at Cupcake Craft Challenge our theme is 'World Cup Wonders'. You don't have to do football, just a sporty image of theme. I went with a very summery sport and picked surfing!





















I've used one of last Summers CC's digi images as never actually coloured this one in before. I needed to make a bright and cheerful card to cheer me up and this certainly did the trick. I've shaded her skin with Copics and everything else with ProMarkers and a white gel pen on her cheeks. All the papers and pink card are by Stampin' Up! from the Sunny Day Scrap Kit, along with the little heart sticker too.

















I'm joining in with:
It's not been an easy day so far, (if you didn't read yesterdays post, today should be my first son's fourth birthday), I took the boys to the park and for an ice cream and this afternoon I'd planned a snuggle on the sofa but Zac was having none of it so we've been playing with water, blue paint and cornflour in a big bowl. Quite theraputic actually!

Hugs
Victoria
