HEY CUPCAKE (BIRTHDAY CARD)

Are there cards that you want to make and then you wonder just what you're going to do with them? Well, for me there are a lot of images that I really like, but I just don't have a clue how to use them. That is how I have felt about the cupcake images. I have several different ones, some digital and some stamps. I just could not seem to make a card with any of them that I really liked. Until now.

 This is a card that I made for a friend. I hope she is not checking on me this weekend. I was out of the office all week, so I did not have a chance to give it to her. A little about this card, the image is from Meljens Designs it was a freebie. But, they have such wonderful images, I am already working on the next one. I had a little accident with the image. It is actually surrounded by swirls and hearts and such, I tried to use the Martha stewart punch (one of the first that I ever bought on the image paper and cut to deep. So I had to cut each cupcake out and use it the way that I did). I don't know the name of the punch, but I used it on my brown paper. Which is from the Paper Company. The pink paper comes from a pad by The Paper Studio. I embossed with the Cuttlebug swirl embossing folder and the dots and spots embossing folder. I used my inverted scalloped circle under the cupcakes. They were colored with copics E31, E33, E53, E51, E25, E37, R81, R83 and other pinks, spica glitter pens pink, chocolate. The brown pearls on the inside were from the stash of stuff that I recently won. I am going to have to have more. I really love them. The sentiment on the inside is from Stampendous. I typed the "Hey Cupcake" on the computer and printed it in pink and then went over it with the pink spica glitter pen. The flowers are white paper flowers from Recollections which I colored with the same color pink copics that I used on the rest of the card. After the cupcakes were colored, I used glossy accents to make it shiney. The buttons are from my stash. The swirly paper that I stitched with my trusty little pixie machine is from my stash. Well, that is about it for the card. And yes, I do have challenges. Was there ever any doubt? The sketch is from Diva Coffee Break Designs
