Seize the Cupcake!

I'm participating in a Stamping Bella Stella image swap, so I've been busy stamping my Stella images to get them out in the mail in time to meet the swap deadline. I designed a little Stella card to include with my images as a thank you for the swap hostess. I always try to do that when I participate in an image swap so that the hostess has some inspiration for using some of the swapped images.

Since I was stamping the Leaning Tower of Stella image for the swap, I used that one for my card. I stamped Stella on white cardstock and colored her with Copic markers to coordinate with the patterned paper I had selected. I embellished the cupcake, candle flame/star, and Stella's crown with some Stickles, too.

The sentiment comes from a Hero Arts cupcake stamp set. It seemed like a good match for Stella and this yummy looking confection.
