Birthday card featuring a fun cupcake with a star and some ribbon flags
A fun card for one of my grandaughter's birthday which is coming up soon!!! I started with a large envelope and created an off white card to fit inside. I cut the piece of polka dot red paper for my background and decided to embellish it. With a black Sharpie I added some hand drawn circles and three dots in all the large circles and put a single dot in the each small circle. Next, I coloured all the circles in with yellow. Finally, I used the open end of a nerf bullet to stamp red circles in between all the other ones. The result adds some pizzazz!! I adhered it to my card front. I laser printed the cute little cupcake (Melonheadz) after adding the birthday greeting, trimmed it to size and then watercoloured it using shimmery paint on the icing and a clear glitter gel pen on the dots and the swirl at the top. I ran my tracing wheel on three edges and just below the greeting on the bottom. I punched the bottom with a scallop punch (SU) and then added four shimmery embellishments in the four full scallops. I layered it with red cardstock and added seven little red checkered ribbon flags on the right hand side. To finish off my card I used 3D foam tape to adhere this focal element to my card front. I like how the star echos the little yellow circles in my decorative paper. Therese
