A red, white and blue birthday

Happy 4th of July to my American readers!

I wanted to take part in some patriotic challenges with Color My Heart and Curtain Call, but I also didn't need a specific USA card so I used the colours to inspire a birthday card.

 

The cupcake was inspired by the cherry as I always think of a cherry on top of any cakes.


Simple layers of Colonial White and Ruby cardstock, with some embossing, stamping and shimmer trim.


I stamped the sentiment in second generation Ruby and Sapphire ink to give a lighter tone and make the cupcake really stand out as the bold feature of the card.


I popped the cupcake up on foam tape to give some added dimension to the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
