Hello crafty friends,
Today we are celebrating 15 years of cupcakes and sweetness at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge with Hero Arts. Here were are at our 600th challenge. This will be a month long challenge with tons of project inspirations and sponsors and lots of prizes.
I have created this beautiful scripty background using the Noel Print Background Stamp by Hero Arts.

I stamped this gorgeous Noel Print Background into a white panel which I cut to be slightly smaller than a standard A2 size cardbase using the A2 Matting Basics B Die Set by Spellbinders which gives a variety of nested dies perfect for your A2 cards.
I stamped the background using a brownish-gray shade - Cozy Pawsitively Saturated Ink by SSS.
To tone down that harsh white background, I decided to add some color to my backgorund panel using Mocha and Cappuccino Pawsitively Saturated Inks.
Once I was done ink blending, I added some black and gold watercolor splatters.
While my panel was drying, I die cut my focal point. I used some yellows, greens and pinks colored cardstock from Your Paper Insider for the floral arrangement. The die set here is the Skating Into The Holidays which was the Small Die of the Month (August - 2024) by Spellbinders.
For my sentiment, I stamped "Merry Christmas" which is a very simple sentiment from the Santa's Helpers Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness. I stamped it using the SSS Gold Embossing Powder.
I then stuck the focal point floral arrangement and the sentiment strip onto the stamped and ink blended background and then adhered the entire panel onto an A2 size Neenah Solar white cardstock.
Here's a closer look at the finished card.
