\"My
My Little Pony card<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It was one of my lovely friend’s<\/a> birthdays over the weekend and I of course went into card-making mode to put together a special Pony\/cupcake inspired piece for her ^_^.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan was to create something Eurovision<\/a> themed because the birthday party was mainly going to centered around watching the 2012 finals. However, I wasn’t happy with any of the ideas I came up with and decided to take another direction. Through a bit of brain-storming the idea of amalgamating My Little Pony with chocolate cupcake icing and sprinkles came about and thus began the creation of my friend’s card!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"My
My rough mockup drawn over a reference picture in photoshop – excuse the random squiggle on the side where I lost control of the mouse and was too lazy to remove ^^;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"My
My original reference with my printed out rough – I drew in the outlines so it would be easier to see the layers of icing<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"My
And now the process begins!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"My
Warercolour added – I was worried at this stage because the brown seemed messy (the watercolour outside the lines is on purpose though). I was praying it would look better once the ink outlines were put in<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"My
And here’s the inked outlines which thankfully brought the card together much better<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"My
Cut out and ready to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some of the watercolour is a little messy but I think it turned out pretty well, especially after I inked the outlines. It was also one of the most fun cards to put together – working out how to incorporate cupcake goodness and getting to use to a variety of different colours, even if they’re only in small sprinkle sized doses ^_^. I hope I can make more cards like these soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
