This week's Teapot Tuesday asked us to bring cupcakes to celebrate the birthday of a deserving friend of a fellow SCSer: MMTPT168 ~ HOCUS POCUS! LET ME FOCUS! COME TO ME MY MAGIC SNAKES! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
This is a chocolate cupcake, with mint icing and a fondant butterfly atop (I think someone has been watching too much Food Network!)
I went yard-sale shopping on Saturday and at a fundraiser for a high school lacrosse team, I got a whole box of goodies for a buck --lace, rick rack, buttons and embroidered appliques. Unopened packs in a variety of colors, really an amazing haul. I used some green lace (that strip is about all of the green, unfortunately) and rickrack from that great buy on this card. I didn't have any pink gingham, but I though the dp had the same sort of feel and would be appropriate for Elsie. Paper-pieced the cupcake cup with coordinating dp.
This also qualifies for WT344, ways to use pink; and CAS140, the cupcake challenge. Sketch is from this week's Card Patterns blog

Hey! You're my kind of person! Love those garage sale deals!
You are right with the rick rack and the paper, it is a great card for Elsie! All this and a fondant butterfly! Elsie will love this.
I have always wanted to splurge and get one of those fancy cupcakes at Whole Foods. Your cupcake looks just like them. Yum. So pretty; pink & green my fav!
