That's right...you know that my cupcakes wouldn't have been complete without some glitter as the "icing on top" - he he he. This card is one that I made for the GSG swap group. I still can't believe I'm in this group with the AMAZING ladies who are part of it. If you go to the GSG logo in my rightt sidebar, you can check out the blogs of each and every lady in both of the groups. I had to wait to show you these swaps until the were received by each of the girls participating. I've had this swap done since two days after signing up for the swap last month, so it's been hard to keep it under wraps!! Anyway, this card has been sitting in my head since I won this stamp set at Convention. I was so excited to get it and as soon as I saw the curved phrase "happy birthday to you" I wondered if it would fit inside one of our circle punches. Well, it does!!! It fits just right in the 1-3/8" circle punch, and I was able to layer the 1" Regal Rose circle in the middle of it, with the little cupcake image punched out with the 3/4" circle punch. I wanted to isolate one of the cupcakes to make the medallion really pop. It was so insane, I saw on Nancy Riley's blog (here) a couple of weeks ago that she too had thought of this. She layered hers with all circles, and I don't know what sizes though and used a cupcake from the wheel instead. I never think about using my wheels as focal images, so I will have to try this out. You should click on the link I gave you and check out her card, it's adorable and I think I like it more than mine!!!
Well, hope you like my card, I'll show you the other swap tomorrow. I definitely hope all of the ladies in the two groups like my cards. I was really nervous as this was my first swap with them.
Have a great day!
