All About the Cupcakes

Lately it's been all about the cupcakes. And this brought to mind a painting I did for my oldest daughter a few years ago. This project combines a few things that I love. Those are recycling old furniture into art, painting and using multiple art mediums.

So the Cupcake is actually painted on a piece of an old cabinet that was primed with a little gesso. Once I had the cabinet door primed I painted my cupcake. While the acrylic paint was still wet I sprinkled a little white clear glitter over it. To top my cupcakes I went with a fun variety of buttons that I simply attached with craft glue.



Hugs,
