Cupcake Birthday Cards

Is been exactly one (1) year since I made my last card! Wow! Times really flies! A lot has been happening and due to that, I am kind lost my interest in making cards as time is really not permitting me to do so.
Cupcake Birthday Cards

Nevertheless, I am back today to make some cards as I really in need of some cards especially birthday cards for my colleague and my best friend who birthday already passed.

Freshly Made Sketches #409 - A Sketch by Jen M.
For this card, I am adopting the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #409 - A Sketch by Jen M. as shown above. I also adopting Seize the Birthday #177 - Candles.

The cupcake with candle is stamped on white square parenthesis dotted dies and colored using Copic markers.

Then on a pink and blue card base, a craft strip is attached onto each of card bases as shown in the sketch. The sentiments are stamped on the craft cardstock accordingly.

Then, the cupcake dies are attached onto the card base as shown in the sketch using foam tapes for dimension. Two (2) black strips are attached onto the craft strips top and bottoms for fake borders.

For final touches, some glossy accents are added to the flames. Some shimmers are added to the cupcakes as well. Two (2) gems are added to left side of the candles just to give some effects.
