Big Bold Birthday…

Posted by Jen | cards, challenges | Monday, August 27, 2007

**Quick Note…My Favorite Things is having a new release on September 1st. Sneak Peeks start here on Thursday!!**

A couple of week’s ago Diane {a.k.a. cookiestamper on SCS} welcomed us to a challenge using the SU! set Big Bold Birthday. I just absolutely fell head over heels for this set when it came out in the catty, but have not had a bunch of chances to use it, so this was a perfect opportunity. The background is stamped with the Polka Dot background stamp, and the bottom portion of that layer is pierced. I used the Certainly Celery scalloped square layer and Whisper White square to frame the cupcake. The icing part of the cupcake is smothered in Diamond Stickles, and the entire cupcake is mounted on 1/8″ glue dots. The sentiment layer originally did not have the cut end, but I felt like it needed something without adding anything {if that makes any sense!!}. Be sure to check out all the other player’s cards.
