H2H week of 7/26

The sock "cupcake" made the rounds on the Cricut MB a few months ago.  I took the opportunity for this week's challenge at www.heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com to make a few for gifts for fellow scrapbook retreat goers.  The challenge was to use the Close To My Heart colors of Blush, Vineyard Berry and Creme' Brulee'.  I cut 2 cupcake wrappers using my Cricut. I did not have CTMH Vineyard Berry ink or paper so I used another brand for that layer of cardstock.  I cut off the decorative top of the blush cupcake wrapper and then stamped it in blush using  the CTMH Rock Star stamps.  I used a blender pen to accent with Creme Brulee'.  I cut out a few stamped stars and affixed to the edge of the blush layer. I used pink pearls from my stash to decorate the top of the wrapper.  The frosted cupcake is actually a spa sock from Michaels rolled up and put inside the wrapper.  Glitz glitter glue from CTMH frosted the stars and stamping.  I used CTMH organdy ribbon and another cutout star to top off my confection.  No calorie sweetness-my favorite!
