The frosting is done with liquid applique, and the rest of the image is colored with markers. I wanted an interesting background, but nothing that would overpower the tiny images. I noticed a roll of pink crepe paper sitting on my desk - I glued it onto cardstock for strength, and when it draied, I layered the cupcakes on top.
The next inchies I needed to make needed to have text on them. I have an old bible that is falling apart that I sometimes use - I thought I would cut squares out of it and layer little doves on top. However, I couldn't find it anywhere, so I started looking for other ideas.
The text here is from the obituary section of the newspaper - the print is very small! I sponged a little distress ink on the text to soften it. I decided to go with dragonflies instead of doves. These were punched from scraps of the crepe paper I used for cupcake backgrounds, and the bodies were colored with marker.
