The base if this card is the navy cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. Next I selected the green and gold foil dot paper from the My Mind's Eye paper pad in the kit and cut it to 5 1/4 x 4 inches.
TIP: Look at the paper to create your own elements like I did for the banner. I cut out a strip of the foiled triangles to use across the bottom of the card measuring 3/4 x 4 inches. I matted that on navy cardstock measuring 1 x 4 inches.
I created the banner by cutting out various triangles as shown. I added the larger triangles to the card with foam tape and then the smaller ones with a bit of Sheer Glue. I cut out a few extra gold mini triangles to embellish my border strip a bit more.
Then I carefully added glue around the word cupcake and added the silver glitter. I repeated the process with the copper glitter for the frosting and the gold glitter for the flame.
Once dry, I fussy cut the cupcake leaving a narrow border. I stamped the cupcake on white cardstock and cut it out on the lines. This I attached behind the glittered cupcake with scor-tape. This makes for a more sturdy and opaque element for your card. I added the cupcake to the card with foam tape.
Best wishes is stamped on a piece of white cardstock measuring 2 x 7/8 inches which I cut banner tails on. The sentiment is also attached to the card with foam tape.
One last touch with the Glaze pen included in the kit was to place a bit of faux stitching around the sentiment banner and I traced the larger white triangles on the banner and border for an added little somethin' somethin!
