Bugaboo Birthday Penguin Cupcake

Bugaboo, Catch the Bug, has a bingo board challenge that started today as part of their birthday celebration. I have been itching to color up this adorable Birthday Penguin Cupcake image. I selected the middle row of Cupcake/Bugaboo Image/Bold Colors.

Primary colors always means bold to me. I did need to add a bit of pink though because frosting that is too bold kind of scares me, LOL!

I cut out a side step card and used some Photoplay Party Box papers. I decided to add more balloons, so I used Poppy Stamps Celebration balloons. The frame was die cut with Snowflake Stitched Frames from Penny Black.

Copic Colors Used

The sentiment, white heat embossed and popped up is from Elizabeth Craft Designs General Sentiments. Lots of Nuvo Clear Shimmer Pen was added for some fun.

This happens to be day two of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge as well. So take a look at the fun going on there as well.

 Thank you so much for your visit. I enjoy reading each comment.

Paper Piecing Balloons

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #158 offered a sketch and an optional twist to use paper piecing. Well, I color. That's what I do. Paper piecing? Not so much. However, a challenge is a challenge and sometimes we just have to step out of our comfort zone. I stepped waaaay out LOL! These balloons, in the center, come from a set called Photo Ham PigWit balloons. The die cut oval is from Darice, and the balloons on the left are from Creative Dies. All balloons were topped with Spectrum Noir Sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits and the comments you leave!

If you visit before June 30, I have entered a coloring (with Copic) contest over at Dover Publications. Since I entered just a day ago, I'm sure my votes are very low and it ends soon. If you have a moment, I would most appreciate it if you could click on this link and vote for me. (Or someone else if you choose.) Thank you!
