Wanna Cupcake?

Happy Sunday!  This week's challenge on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is one of my favorites - paper piecing!  The clean and simple lines of the Pure Innocence girls by Heather Ellis are perfect for this technique.  I have chosen to use her little girl with a cupcake (Pure Innocence 030):


I have followed this week's card layout on The Pixie Cottage and I have paper pieced her dress and the cupcake wrapper.


This card is actually for my Auntie who always loved to tell me that I could not have my cake and eat it too (my Mom and Aunt both love proverbs and sayings so I grew up hearing quite a few of them which were passed down from my Grandma Laura).  So the sentiment on the inside of the card is actually a cheeky private joke for my Aunt:


A close up on the copic colouring and paper piecing:
