Seize the Cupcake.... in a Moxie Fab Vervey Kinda Way!!

Long title!! This week's Tuesday Trigger, in the Moxie Fab World, is bright green polka dot cupcake holders with an orange and yellow background!! Talking bright here!! When I saw the inspiration pic I immediately thought of the Verve set "Carpe Cupcake" {which I adore and haven't used... it is possible to have stamps you adore and haven't used... KWIM!!} Perfect and perfect sentiment. Stamped the cupcakes in memento tuxedo black onto white using masking. Since I didn't have any green with white polka dot dp... made my own. Used Verve's Bountiful Backgrounds with Versamark on green paper and heat embossed with white. Three vertical layers of those bright colors with a little divine twine from The Cats Pajamas and a two button/twine combo. Liquid applique for the frosting {prob' not used much anymore but, I liked the effect}.

Here's the inspiration


Here's my card.... Seize the Cupcake!!

And... my sweet DH gets a new chainsaw... how happy is he!!??
