So if you're reading this, it means that my little Kellan was admitted to the hospital with a respiratory virus and I was unable to make a card. (I'm prescheduling this Tuesday night in case I don't make it home Wednesday). And I really wanted to make a card, since Kellan and Trevor turn 3 next Monday and I haven't stamped anything for them yet. But alas, trying to comfort my sweet boy takes precedence. So I'm sharing a little re-run that happens to totally fit this month's challenge.
From my original post: I used the Small Packages set and coordinating Cupcake Frame Die Set from Verve. The coastal cabana layer is stamped randomly with the small cupcake stamp and then accented with stardust stickles. I embossed the belated sentiment directly onto patterned paper, then stamped the from all of us sentiment on blushing bride and hand trimmed as a banner. The star is a resist chipboard star that I sponged with pool party and coastal cabana inks and then around the edge with black ink. I stamped and cut out one cupcake with the die, then colored it with Copics and accented with stardust stickles. The only other accent was a big crystal star stick pin, that I stuck through my layers to hold everything together.
