Make a Wish

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge.  I paired the sketch with elements from the inspiration photo (color scheme and cupcake theme!) to come up with this super sweet birthday card. 

My pretty cupcake is from Avery Elle's Bring on the Cake stamp set.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out with the matching die. In a nod to the elegant decor on the cupcakes in the inspiration photo, I dressed up my cupcake with a teeny, tiny paper flower with a teeny, tiny self-adhesive pearl at the center.   The cupcake was adhered to a kraft oval using foam tape for dimension.  For the background, I covered the bottom of a white panel with a piece of pale blue embossed cardstock.  It's been a while since I used an embossed panel on a card!  I edged the embossed section with a length of delicate lace, then topped it with the cupcake image.  The "make a wish" sentiment from Avery Elle's Cupcake stamp set was stamped to the right of the image panel in kraft colored ink.  I used foam tape to adhere the finished panel to a white card base.  The little bit of dimension helps the panel to pop against the white background.
