Hello There,
Happy Monday!
My mind must be on Chocolate today. I’ve been dieting so no doubt, lol.
Today’s tutorial background looks like a big chocolate bar and it was created by layering chocolate colored squares. The main image panel was created using the emboss resist technique. I sure which you could see the shine on the cupcake. It just didn’t show up in the pictures.
You can check out the complete tutorial below.
I’m off to take my beloved dog, Lucas to the vet. I do believe he has an ear infection since he is shaking his head throughout the day. Poor pup.

Stamped the cupcake from the Stampin’ Up! Easy Events set (item number 123225) using Craft Basic Black ink on a 2.25″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.
Colored the icing and cake stand Pink Pirouette.

Colored the cupcake wrapper using a Pool Party Marker.
Added Tempting Turquoise marker to the wrapper and then blended the wrapper using the Pool Party marker.
Colored over the image using a Versamarker and then heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Masked the top of the card stock using a post it note and then sponged Chocolate Chip in the unmasked area.
Sponged a bit of Early Espresso ink at the base of the stand to create a shadow.
Removed the mask and sponged So Saffron ink at the top of the card stock.
Cut a 5″ piece of Early Espresso card stock and punched 8 1 3/8″ squares from Chocolate Chip card stock.
Added eight 1 1/4″ punched Early Espresso squares on top of the Chocolate Chip squares.
Added a 5.25″ Chocolate Chip panel and a 5.25″ x 10.5″ Whisper White card base (folded in half). Also added Pretty in Pink ribbon and a 2 5/8″ square behind the main image panel and popped it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
