Hello friends! I'm thrilled to say that I'm the Surprise Party Guest for the new challenge at Seize the Birthday. My card was the winner of STB #325.
The "toppings" option for the next fortnight is "Sweet Treats".

There are plenty of creative options with this topping. Here's what I ended up making. Warning! Pink alert!
It's oh, so pink and very glittery! The cupcake dies, sentiment stamp and die, and the embossing folder are all products from Spellbinders Just Add Cake card kit. I was inspired to use this layered design after seeing Billie's card on Instagram.
Three shades of pink, two of aqua/teal and a dark brown cardstock were used, along with the magenta glitter cardstock, for the background layers and the cupcake elements. The larger flowers and a couple of the leaves are from another Spellbinders die set, but the rest of the elements are from the Light the Candles dies in the kit. I really love those candles!
The pink background panels were first cut out with rectangle dies, then embossed with the kit folder and adhered to the larger glitter cardstock layers. Sparkly gems were added to the flower centers and then I finished things off by using an aqua glitter pen to add more sparkle to the flower petals and the candle flames.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I encourage you to take a moment to visit the challenge blog for some wonderful inspiration by the design team.
Take care!
Stef

I don't know why but as soon as I saw all the shades of pink on your card I thought a Raspberry. One of my favorite treats! Not a bad idea when the challenge is sweet treats. Good to see you here as our winner from the last challenge.
