AEI♥U Birthday Challenge

Avery Elle has a new Challenge Blog and my good friend Karolyn Loncon is the Design Team Coordinator. YAY Karolyn!! So of course I'm playing along to support her first official AEI♥U Challenge.

The 1st challenge theme is BIRTHDAY.
Are you gonna join the fun with me? If you don't have any Avery Elle stamps (yet) they have some free digi images that you can create with. Yep...no excuses! lol :)

This is the perfect challenge because I always need more birthday cards. I used 2 Avery Elle stamp sets on my card: Cupcakes and Handwritten Notes.

 

I spotted this layout in a magazine. Think of all the different tags you can create and plop down on this card!!! Idea overload for sure! You're welcome.

 I stamped with Ranger Distress Inks and did some shading with Spectrum Noir markers. Some glitter on the frosting, a perfect little flower die cut using Avery Elle Cupcakes ELLE-ments die and a candy button finished off my yummy vanilla cupcake.

 

 

FUN STUFF!

Have a great weekend,
