LPS Sneak Peek - Katie Cupcake

  • On the first go-round, I elected to use Taylor's sketch.
  • The idea for using seed beads for my sprinkles was stolen from Michele's post on Friday (talk about timing!). Instead of using texture paste, I simply filled the image with liquid applique, added the beads on top and then set it with my heat gun.
  • Finally, I pieced her dress and colored her with Copics.

While I love the sketch and the concept, I was not thrilled with the results so I tried again.

I like this one much better...same techniques (i.e., coloring with copics, piecing and LA on the cupcake) but this time I used CPS 119.


And now for some deets about the LPS release and candy!
