cupcakes aplenty - 1st tutorial ever!

gorgeous cupcakes

Dear ones,
are these cupcakes delightful or what?. I thought I wanted to play a bit with the pastel colors in my journal today. And using cupcake wrappers. White ones.

Like these;

#1: Used some kite papers (or rice papers).
#2: Blank journal pages.

#3: Simply spread some gel medium over the pages.
Dabbed down crumpled kite papers. let dry. 
#4: Meanwhile, flattened a couple of cupcake wrappers together. Make 12 sets of these. you may use coffee filters too. 

#5: Finger-paint green acrylic on them.
#6: Repeat with pink acrylic paint. let dry.

#7: Now they are ready for stamping and embellishments.
#8: Decoupaged some roses from tissue papers.


#9: Keep paint gunk from bottle caps. They make cute roses.
#10: Now all the wrappers are properly dressed. They are ready to go on the journal pages.



So if you are stuck at some point ... just look around (or go pinning), you would see prettiness everywhere. And then start working :).
Hugs.
