Cupcake Week :: It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a cloud?

For the last cupcake week post I would like to share a simple / silly little cuppy I made using my mad needle felting skillz (they are really not all that mad... there mostly sad... but that's ok).

I corralled a leftover never finished or shared project from BTBW (big time bunny week) as a sacrificial craft element for this project.  I started on a felt bunny pin cushion and I just ran out of time/steam (that was a crazy week for sure).  So I grabbed that bunny bottom and turned him into a cupcake bottom for my needle felted top!  I'll run you through the amazing transformation (get ready to oohhh and ahhh) and then wrap up Cupcake Week with a final amazing recipe from LFM!

 
Here you have a mound of felt roving atop a bunny base.
I used my leftover roving from my Wool Pets Bunny Kit (you can see it HERE).


I started poking away at it to see if I could get the swirls of cupcake frosting happening.

It's (poke) starting (poke) to (poke) take (ouch) shape.


I even attempted to make a little dollop top.
(which looks rather cloud like if you ask me).


..and here we have store bought cuppy saddling up to needle felted cuppy.
She's short and sweet and he's tall unfinished and hammiesome.
She let him borrow some of her sprinkles.
Cause she's nice like that.

I had so much fun experimenting with PhotoShop brushes that I decided to make a rabid pack of .png files from those cupcakes for you to play with as well (you can use them as digi scrapbook elements too).  These resize and print perfectly (with no crazy fuzzies like the brushes...  which I WILL get worked out)!



Download the .png files HERE (they are in a .zip file)!

Also...  do not forget to head on over to LFM's for the grand finale of grand finales in cupcake land!  Think ooey gooey cinnamony goodness!

Don't forget to download all of the recipe cards from LFM's!
