Challenge #48 is to use the photo here by Gwynn Wasson Designs as inspiration for your project.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I want to be invited to that party.
  
Ch#48 - Photo Inspiration
And here is my card.


This is a 4.5 x 4.5 card as I wanted a little extra space for all the goodies involved (though I still hung over the edge a bit!).  There were so many fun elements with which to play - this was one of those cards that was fun from start to finish.

I colored the image, Frosty Winter Cupcake, from MelJen's Designs, using Copics.  Then I glazed the snowman and lollipops with Glossy Accents.  I added a dash of glitter to the sprinkles and "sparks" as well.




I also added some glitter to the snowflake die cut as well as the two snowflake punches.


There are a couple of layers of scallop border die cuts and a cute little wavy banner for the birthday sentiment.  Well, half of it.  The other half, "Happy," is on the pennant banner at the top.


I get the biggest kick out of playing with all these little bitty pieces.  It's kind of like playing with paper dolls.  It should be against the law to have this. much. fun. 

A few rhinestones and some silver metallic thread, and the card is complete.






Here is the inside of the card.



Thank you for joining me, and I do hope to see you over at our Tuesday Alchemy challenge blog.  Great prizes, AND you can make anything you want, not just a card.  Maybe next time I, too, will make something other than a card.  It could happen...  :)

Here's wishing you a fun, crafty winter day with maybe even a cupcake in it.

Happy crafting!!
