Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #19

Welcome to another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal!

Sorry for the bad photo of my card this week - it took me soooo long to add all of those gemstones on and I lost most of my daylight! I'm not all that thrilled with how the card turned out, which is unfortunate, because I think I have a permanent crick in my neck from making it!

As soon as I saw this week's cupcakes, the idea of doing a gemstone rainbow came to me right away. The idea just didn't quite translate on paper the way I wanted it to! Most of the gemstones in the rainbow are from the Zva Creative crystal wheel. The variety of colors in the wheel made it so easy to create the rainbow. And even though I used a lot of each color, you get so many in the wheel, plus it's so affordable, so I didn't even hesitate to use up so many of them. The light blue and light pink were the easy part of this - they're Memory Box jewel stickers and come in an adhesive strip, so those were just pulled off the backing and stuck right on the card. SO much easier than sticking on the small ones one by one with my Quickie glue pen!

The cloud is the Marvy super jumbo scalloped oval punch and I stamped a sentiment from The Greeting Farm set called Sentiments. That was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then traced with a black Spica glitter pen. The Swiss Dots Cuttlebug background finishes it off.

If you would like to play along, add a direct link to your creation to the Mr. Linky widget on Rachel's post. The top 5 entries will be featured in next week's spotlight collage. Be sure to check out the rest of the HSE Sweeties for more inspiration using this challenge:
