Cupcake Birthday

I tell you, I'm doing a miserable job with Christmas this year. I'm only creating what I really have to, and still digging in my heels otherwise. Could I still be burned out from too much Christmas creating last year?? I needed a break to whip up a birthday card. I figured those with December birthdays might be sick of getting Christmas-themed cards for the birthday too.

I was surfing around for some inspiration, and I found this beautiful card by Mona Pendleton. I'm sure it was so eye-catching to me because of the colors. So I grabbed my Springtime Vintage paper and attempted a recreation.

Stamps: Something to Celebrate; Paper: Rose Red, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, Springtime Vintage DSP, Newsprint DSP; Ink: Rose Red, Crumb Cake; Accessories: Glimmer brad, Button, White baker's twine, Vanilla seam binding, Sponge, Crimper, Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch, Swirl Scribbles die, Petal Cone die, Big Shot, Sewing machine, Thread.

Thanks for stopping by!
