I like cupcakes.  So, what better way to start off a Monday than with a card showcasing not one, but two cupcakes?  🙂

This week’s Paper Therapy challenge is a sketch challenge.  This cupcake stamp fit perfectly into the diamond shaped elements on the sketch, so I decided to make a birthday card featuring that image.  I used some Shimmerz paints to color the cupcake and its wrapper.  I had a hard time capturing the shimmer when I took the photo, but trust me, it’s there.

And now I have another card to send to Operation Write Home.

Here is the sketch:
