Cute Cupcake

I have managed to escape for a - very brief - break from decorating to make my brother in laws birthday card.  We were hoping to avoid having to paint some areas of the house (like the stairs) but unfortunately had to cave in and do it.  I dont care if I never see another carved wooden spindle - ever...

Anyway, on with the crafting.  Its always hard to think of something for mens cards, but sometimes, just changing the colour scheme makes it fit.

I stamped the cupcake in Basic Grey ink and coloured the image using my markers.  Then I used Crystal Effects on the 'sprinkles' so they became nice & shiny.  I used a die cutter to trim the image and mounted it on Pumpkin Pie cardstock which had also been cut out using a die cutter.

The large star was ounched out using the SU star punch with smaller stars punched out using some old punches from my stash.

Thanks for coming over to see me!  Hopefully, we will have finished decorating soon so I can get back in my craft room properly.
