Sweet Cupcake for Festive Friday #185

Happy Friday.

It's another INSPO list challenge across at FestiveFriday this week and we are celebrating Father's Day.  However, as my Father has been gone from this earth for 4 decades, I decided to make a birthday card instead!  All perfectly OK for the INSPO list challenge.  As always, we ask you to include 3 items from the INSPO list on your creation, but you do not have to follow our theme/festive occasion.

For my card I used the Sweet Cupcake die from Waffle flower to create my oversized cupcake and the Sweet Birthday sentiments.  Here's a sneak peek:

I began by die-cutting the cupcake and then using the matching stencils to add color and texture to the cupcake and the holder.  I created some texture in the background with the Taylored Expressions confetti stencil and used the same blue as my focal element to tie the two areas together.

I popped up the cupcake and added the sentiment, as well as some hand drawn sprinkles on the cupcake and on the frosting.

Here's my card:

I'll be back on Sunday with my Paper Players card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
