Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
I have 4 sons. Okay, 3 are human, and one is 4 footed and furry, but all the same, I consider Speedy the Cat to be a child. That said, I am servant to a total of 10 OTHER four footed family members. You rarely read about them, because, quite frankly, they aren't as GIFTED as Speedy the Cat!
Speedy the Cat LOVES cupcakes. And, Markie and I make them, OFTEN! When the cupcakes are cooled and iced, Markie will pull up an extra stool to the kitchen island, and Speedy the Cat will jump up. Then, they each enjoy a cupcake. Okay, they each enjoy the ICING! They BOTH lick it off and leave the cake! LOL!
The image was stamped on watercolor paper and the "cupcake wrapper" was colored with SU! markers. Next, I used an aqua pen to blend the colors. I stamped the image on White and then cut out the "icing". (Speedy the Cat PREFERS WHITE icing!) I layered the icing onto the watercolored image with foam tape. Then, I stamped the candle onto the blue/red/white designer paper, cut it out and layered it!
The flourish at the top, over the sentiment is the "trash" from the corner die cut! (Cuttlebug.)

Great story, great card and I like the "trash" (as you called it) over the sentiment.
