Cupcake...by Vicky

This week I've been making some general birthday cards.  The 'Happy Days' collection from Echo Park is just perfect for birthdays.  It's full of bright and colourful papers, together with a few black and white retro designs for contrast.  

1.  Take an A6 tent fold card blank and cover the card front with patterned paper.

2.  Cut a panel of the graph paper design and adhere to the card front leaving a narrow border.

3.  Concertina fold a 4.5 cm strip paper at .5 cm intervals to form the cupcake base.

4.  Draw  the cupcake frosting on the reverse of a contrasting paper design and cut out.  Create some movement by handstitching swirls using one strand of embroidery floss. 

5.  Add a flower embellishment and sentiment to finish.

Supplies Needed:

Sentiment

Flower Embellishment

White Embroidery Floss

Happy Days 6x6 Paper Pad
