Hey there Cupcake Layout

My daughter needed to provide snacks for her soccer team, so we baked and decorated cupcakes. The first attempt (a bear pawprint because her team is the Blue Grizzlies) didn't come out well, so we switched to the bear faces. Much better!

Seven Layout

It's Sunday, and that means another fun challenge from Lasting Memories! As their guest designer this month, I was quite challenged when they asked me to use watercolors, paints, and/or mists on my layout. This is totally out of my comfort zone, but I had recently stumbled across the technique of adding a pop of color to a stamped line image by brushing on some watercolor paint, so I tried that with my three cupcake circles. I then misted on top of that, and added white gel pen accents and an enamel dot to each one.

And I also misted the shape with the sub-title on it, but since it's hard to see in the full view of the layout, here's a close-up.
