Jumbo cupcake card!

I got to have a little fun today. The excuse is that my daughter needed a fabulous card for her girlfriends birthday tonight. Of course when you are a hermit like me who has so much to do at home that you never leave it, you have to make a super fantastic card to put the plain old money in!


I used the plain cupcake image from the Cuppycakes set. I enlarged it in photoshop to measure approx. 5" x 6", printed it off twice, once for the base and again for the top (tutorial to follow) to create the card.

I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils, baby oil and blending stumps. 

The colors I used are:
Raspberry and Black Cherry for the topping.
Burnt ochre, Espresso, and Black Cherry for the bottom.

I used my million dollar Twinkle brads from CTMH (I hope you keep this card forever Lisa!) cause they were just cryin' out to go on here. I also used some prisma glitter and a few twinkles too. 
I pop dotted the topping on to the card base.

A scrap of ribbon, a tag and a green baby pin and voila!

Hope Jordan likes it!
