Cupcake Birthday Card

This is a quick and simple card suitable for beginning stampers. The cupcake stamp is from the Holiday Treats stamp set and Happy Birthday is a stamp from Labels and Tags.

The cupcake was stamped twice. Once on white cardstock and once on printed (polka dot) designer paper. The cupcake stamped on white cardstock was watercolored. The frosting part of the image stamped on polka dot paper was cut out and adhered on top of the white card stock image.

A real birthday candle was softened in a toaster oven (do this carefully!!) and then slightly flatten while it was soft and then cut in half. One candle can make two cards! A colored candle would have been better, but I didn't have any and ended up getting this candle from my neighbor!

Materials list:
Stampin' Up!: Cutie Pie designer paper, Certainly Celery, So Saffron and Whisper White card stock, mini brads, Certainly Celery classic ink (for watercoloring), Dimensionals, small and large Oval Punches, Snail Adhesive.
Stewart Superior: Palette Noir black ink

So excited to have three different websites to look at for all your great creations. You are and always be my inspiration- my breath of fresh air- my light in the dark (but not as a bright of a light as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ :)but a beautiful light! I am sooo glad we met and have become friends!!!- but I still want to suck your brain out for a day and insert it into my head. :)
