Birthday Cupcake

Hi All, happy Sunday!

I hope you are all having a relaxing weekend.  I've not done too much this weekend which is nice after such a hectic week in Florence.  I'm feeling guilty today as I had a real craving last night for chocolate, so I dashed out to my nearby shop and bought 2 packs of giant chocolate buttons (yes 2 packs).  I haven't eaten all of them I hasten to add but I made a good start!  So I happily munched away on those whilst watching Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor.  Who says I dont have an exciting life!!

I've made a card today for a colleague in work whose favourite colours are black, red and white.  She is also not really a girly, girl but I had to add a ribbon and some glitter.  The ribbon wasn't meant to be there but it is hiding a slight mistake!! 

I've used a digi image from Digi Stamp Boutique - Zoe Collection.  Also some papers from Kanban and promarkers in Poppy, Blush and Black.  With a little star dust stickles for the icing.  I'm going to add some glossy accents to the bow round the cake as well.

If someone has any tips on how to take good photos of cards (mine aren't great), I would really appreciate it!

I will be entering into the following challenges:

• Fab 'n' Funky - Black & White with a twist
• A Spoon Full of Sugar - Spots and Stripes (does the sentiment border count as a stripe?!)
• Taylored Expressions - Sketch 130
• Stamp Something - Something to Celebrate (birthday in this case).

Well thats me done for now.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Love
