Limelight #68: bday card

Hello.
Here's a birthday card made from Basic Grey's "Cupcake" collection.
The design is inspired by Limelight Papercrafts Sketch challenge which also requested pearls.
Dug out the paper crimper to make the cupcake "wrapper".
 I cut the "icing" out of the BG sprinkle paper by hand and added Stickles. 







Here's the Sketch. 
 I replaced the large butterfly with the cupcake and the smaller ones with the balloons.


Supplies:
Paper: Basic Grey "Cupcake"
Misc: Balloon punch, floss, Stickles, ribbon, pearls, paper crimper, MS circle cutter

Thanks for coming by!
