Photo inspiration challenge

Yes, that's the theme for Patties' Creations current challenge! Use the photo provided here, and make up a card based on the photo. What a yummy setting for the cupcakes. I decided to use the two main colours and the stripes on the cupcake holders as the basis for my card.

 I made a birthday celebration card using the "Cheerleader Pattiboop" image from Patties Creations SHOP. I used orange and dark blue cardstock, and some striped orange paper which I cut with my Nestabilities die. The cheerleader was coloured in with Spectrum Noir pens, and then glitter added to her jacket and the pleats in her skirt. The blue and white feathers on the pompom shakers were an after thought, but it adds a little texture to the card. Note ... when using striped paper make SURE the lines run parallel to the edge of your card - not like mine urgh!

 DO pop into her store for an image, as she has put some amazing new images in there. When you've made your card, head on over to her BLOG and enter it under Mr Linky to put yourself in the winning line! The challenge closes on the 4th May.
