Faux Frosted Cupcake

Here's a card we stamped at this month's technique class. The technique was faux frosting, and what better card to demonstrate it on than one with a giant cupcake?

I used 2 stamp sets to make this card, and both of them are part of this month's Birthday promotion, where with a single $20 purchase you can get 20% off the price of 8 different stamp sets. Obviously I couldn't pass up that kind of a deal, especially since I really love these two stamp sets!

Anyway, here's the card recipe:

Stamp sets: Simple Birthday Thanks, Crazy for Cupcakes
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Regal Rose, Whisper White, Windsor knot designer series paper
Ink: basic black, regal rose re-inker, whisper white craft
Accessories: word window punch, 1/8" handheld circle punch, pink bead duo, crystal effects, sponge dauber, riding hood red taffeta ribbon, paper crimper, dimensional.
