A Card and a Cupcake!

I made this card to give to a friend of mine, and although we don't usually exchange gifts I decided to make a cupcake to go with it. The image, from Bugaboo, is called 'JJ Tequila and Shoes - Birthday' and the sentiment is included in the download. I'm not sure what make the paper is as I've had it for ages, and although I'm not a fan of pink I do like the design, so decided it was time it got used. The image and card candy were coloured with ProMarkers and the pink ribbon was a piece I probably rescued from some item of clothing. I always cut those 'hanger loops' out of tops and dresses 'cos they just get in the way if left on and of course I can't just throw them away. Combined it with green, my favourite colour, and I'm happy with the finished card.

I've made a few 'Cupcakes' since first seeing them in Blogland and as this card has a cupcake theme it seemed like a good idea to do one to match. Most of the ones I've seen have been made with a face flannel or socks but I like to use a hair wrap - the sort you wrap around your hair after washing. Those made from Micro-fibre are best, not towelling which would be too bulky, as it is the finished Cupcake is still more like a 'Large Muffin' . The 'sugar coated cherry' is some sort of berry from my christmas decorations and I did make a matching gift box/bag but forgot to take a photo and it's too late now.
