A very simple card for a birthday with a blueberry cupcake and chocolate frosting!! Colored the cupcake with Copics and shaded around it using chalk.
Had trouble with the sentiment, had to redo it several times. The stamp does not have much depth and so the bg picks up the ink. Tried to reink the stamp so many different ways. Ended up inking the stamp and then taking a small q-tip and cleaned the extra ink off the stamp!
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue with a stamp?

This card is right up your alley, Ms. Ann. Frosting, cake, cupcake, candles. Given your real life experience, I must say this is one delightful birthday card. So colorful, so fun. Yes, I've experienced the same issue you've experienced with your sentiment: All that came to an end when I gave in and purchased a MISTI 6 months ago.
Love your card.

pretty card Ann-and the cupcake looks so rel-like you could eat it-I have the MISTI now so I don't have those problems anymore-but before I just tapped the ink on the stamp and didn't press really heavy when I put it on the paper

This is just so cute! I just want to lick that chocolate icing right off of there! Terrific idea using the upside down candles in place of the banners. Very clever!
