Purple!

I thought I'd do a quick post before starting work (pool match tonight)... after flipping through my cricut booklets I came across this charming cupcake.  A very nice man from town has been out today to fix my Dyson machine machine - the first time it has broken down in thirteen years (yes, 13), is two months after they have been declared 'obsolete'!!!  Apparently Dyson only made them for one year because they couldn't make any money on them!  Anyway, what has this to do with my card? I hear you asking.  Well my Dyson washing machine is PURPLE, yes it really is - a sparkly purple at that, hence the colour for my cupcake!

 
I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the shadow (black), and then two cuts of the cupcake (purple and patterned),  the cherry has had some glossy accents plastered over the top to make it shiny, all this was done using the 'HOME DECOR' cartridge. Yummy...

  10. What an awesome care Karen! I love that cupcake with the stickles! How cool that you have a Dyson washing machine, I didn't even know they had washing machines. It is even cooler that it is purple, how fun doing laundry must be! Your card is just too cute, I love the fabulous papers your used, loved that you put a recipe on it and love those purple gems but it is that super shiny and oh so yummy looking cherry that completes this cupcake and makes me want to snatch it right up and eat it! lol Glad that your pretty purple washer was fixed too! Thanks for joining us at BBTB2 ;-)
