Seize the Birthday #1

Woo-Hoot, the much anticipated new challenge is here. Seize the Birthday posted it's first official sketch today. I am looking forward to this challenge, it will be fabulous to get a small surplus of Birthday cards.

Along with the sketch this week, there is a catch.. it must be a girly card :).


I did intend this to be a clean and simple card but in typical Nina fashion it ended up being a little more complicated. 
 
I heat embossed the cupcake top and base then hand cut them. I added a little twine around the middle to hang the sentiment. I inked most edges and finished with some gems. 


Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Designer Paper -My Mind's Eye, Fiskars-Cupcakes and more, The Stamps of Life-mini4circle, twine, Cuttlebug die cut,Spellbinders, Kaiser craft gems.

Cheers,
Nina
