Cupcake is the theme over at Creative Tuesdays! My drawing combines several of my favorite things...my favorite motto, a bird, and something sweet. Mrs. Bird is drawn with black ink and colored pencils on 8.5 x 11 printer paper. Lettering was done through Picnik.

And I figured I might as well bake cupcakes, too! :) Chocolate lattice work and German Chocolate flavored marshmallow petals make this plain vanilla cupcake something a little more special. And it looks very autumnal, doesn't it?
Cupcake entries are due Tuesday, October 11th.

Ok - a cup of tea .. and a cupcake or two .. cup of tea is the thing .. cheers enjoy the rest of your day - Columbus Day? .. Hilary
ReplyDeleteOh good...I'll put the kettle on! :) Yes, it's Columbus Day!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy .. I have my own private tube over (under) .. I use when I visit another blogger in Austin - she has BB her Blogger Managiments Bunny .. and I have Hardwick - Mum's constant bed companion .. so I'll see you for a cuppa in a few minutes .. it's too dark to pick up something special .. just me! Hxox
ReplyDeleteHilary ~ sounds good. :) You are so cute!
ReplyDeletehahaha keep calm with a cupcake?
ReplyDeleteYou think if I partake
I would keep calm at all?
I might go bouncing down the hall..haha
Great picture as usual though
Your talent sure does show
Even with your autumn looking treats
But I'll have to take a pass with my little rhyming you know on the sweats..haha
Hi Betsy .. on my way now - couldn't leave the washing up .. hate coming back to a messy house .. see ya!! H
ReplyDeletePat ~ sweats again?
ReplyDeletelol...you crack me up.
Yes, I think you do this on purpose so I, as your editor, feel needed.
Why have sweat when you could have sweet?
It tastes better, not to mention it's neater.
lol...
Hilary ~ no problem...tea is brewing! :) lol...
ReplyDeletewow...YOUR TALENTS ARE ENDLESS...LOVE BOTH OF THESE! ;D
ReplyDeleteChocolate flavoured marshmallow petals.
ReplyDeleteFour of the bestest words on this planet. Seriously. Wow. Take care

ReplyDeleteBrian ~ thanks dear brother....I know, I know...you would have preferred key lime flavored. :)
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Love the sketch as well as the autumn goodies... look to be rather tasty!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am impressed looks to good to eat.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm more impressed by the drawing or the cupcakes. Either way, you're phenomenally talented. I'm glad someone's life is not too short to make chocolate lattice - even if mine is!
ReplyDeletejenny ~ everyone needs to eat chocolate lattice at least once! :) Licking the bowl was fun, too! ha.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes are making me drool. Not good for my computer keyboard! How do you make those marshmallow petals? I agree you are talented!!

ReplyDeleteOh Betsy, the drawing is to die for, and I lived closer, I would certainly chance a gb attack and eat several of those beautiful lushious cupcakes...I feel calmer just looking at this wonderful entry!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wanda! And I'm sure cyber cupcakes are not only calorie-less but never harmful in any way! lol...Sit down with Hilary and me..we're having tea!
ReplyDeletehaha see said I'd pass on the sweats and made you feel in need
ReplyDeleteAnd passed on sweats not sweets so you might think I'd take heed

God bless.

Gosh, I love those cupcakes! I love your illustration too.
ReplyDeleteAs creative as always Betsy. The original would probably have said "Keep calm and have a bun"
ReplyDeleteI really, really like this Creative Tuesday picture. I'll bet you could turn all these little drawings into greetings cards or prints for sale. I'm sure they'd sell well. Your cupcakes look good too!
