Today is my sweet friend Taylor Van Bruggen's birthday and a few of her friends have gotten together to throw her a virtual birthday party! Hope your day is fabulous, Taylor! Here's the card I made for her:
Card base is cut with largest Spellbinders Big Scalloped Square Nestabilities die. The cupcake from my favorite Taylored Expressions' stamp set, For the Love of Cupcakes, was colored with Copic markers RV32 & RV34 and glittered with Stickles. The cupcake liner/bottom was stamped onto striped paper and pieced, as was the cake plate. Cupcake is popped up. Pink flowers are a Sizzix die, cut from Prism Intense Pink cardstock and also glittered.
Card is approximately 4.25" wide (including sentiment tab) and loosely based on this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #117.
You can hop around to these fabulous designers' blogs to see the birthday cards they've all made for her, too!
