Cupcake Celebration

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Jessica Kruegel aka jexterra.....congrats, Jessica!  I chose this adorable cupcake card from her gallery as inspiration today.  For my card, two white panels were cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies; on one, the 'Cupcake' single was stamped,  watercolored at the bottom and sponged at the top; the largest panel was scored with a Scor-buddy.  A partial piece of designer paper from the NCC 'Sweet Shoppe' Paper Collection was cut with the same die, using the Die Re-sizing Technique.  A craft knife was used to cut through the cupcake so that the single candle (cut with the ODBD Custom Birthday Candles Dies) could be inserted.  The sentiment was cut with the ODBD Custom Celebrate and Wish Dies.  The sprinkles, embossed areas of the candle, and the sentiment were highlighted with a clear glaze pen and two red gemstones were added.  I will also be submitting this card to the Fan Club Central Theme since I used scoring on the white panel and since the candle is parallel to the rectangles.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
