Baja polka dot cupcake



What a perfect color combination I found at Pals Paper Arts! Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake. Why that's exactly the colors in the Elegant Soiree designer series paper!

That patterned paper even had some polka dots on it, so I thought I'd give the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast a try. There was a fun suggestion on there to cut out circles to create your own polka dots. I punched out circles and embossed with dots and glued them to the same color paper. I really like the effect. I think I'll be trying that again!

The layout is from Diva Coffee Break Designs.



I got to use my BRAND NEW label punch that I received TODAY! That sure got me motivated to make something!

I thought I'd do a cupcake card today and I used a matching sentiment from the hostess set "Something to Celebrate". I wrapped a bit of ribbon around the label which I think looks really cute.

    What a fun card. The details of the punched/embossed circles on the main panel is fabulous. Thanks for playing along with the Diva's sketch this week.
