Cupcake Time!!! and a DT call!

It's time for another fantastic challenge at Cupcake Inspirations and this one was reallllllly challenging.  This week it's Steampunk!  Steampunk is totally NOT my style...but I admit, my awesome image from Kenny K was so much fun to color!  And it was the first time my darling husband has taken an interest in my craft...I'm assuming it's because of her luscious locks and not her, uh, overflowing cups (if you know what I mean!)!

But I'm getting ahead of myself!

Here is our inspirational photo:



Ok, here she is...Eva Pearl






I hope I've inspired you!!!
