Cupcake Birthday

I still remember Sheila demonstrating techniques with this stamp set at On Stage, and that memory returns whenever I use this set.

But, unfortunately all good things come to an end.  This set and its coordinating framelits, are on the retirement list.   So, one last card - for the road.


Cupcake:
Icing:
Using the Stamparatus, the icing was stamped first with Pink Pirouette (retiring colour), Sweet Sugarplum (also retiring) and finally Rich Razzelberry. Sprinkles of candy were stamped with Rich Razzelberry.

Cone:
This was stamped in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso

Both the cupcake icing and cone were die cut using the Cupcake Cut outs Framelits and added to a Whisper White Stitched Circle die cut - the icing with dimensionals.  The stitched circle was matted with a Sweet Sugarplum scallop circle the two of which were adhered together using dimensionals. The sentiment, stamped in Rich Razzelberry on Whisper White, was made into a banner and added to the side of the cone with some mini dimensionals.



The card front is comprised of a 4 1/4 by 11 thick Whisper White top fold card.  Before adding the strip of Party Time DSP (retiring) to the left side, some texture was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink using the dot stamp from Timely Texture (also retiring)  A strip of Burlap ribbon as well as metallic edge Berry Burst ribbon added over and on the edge of the DSP help to unite the colours in the card.

The focal image was added to the card front using dimensionals. Adhesive backed Tutti-Fruitti sequins were adhered at random providing some sparkle and colour.
