Seize the Birthday - Sentiment as focal image



We have a new challenge for you these two weeks.  As you can see above the sentiment should be the focal image.  But if you are not a toppings kind of person, just make it a birthday card.

I actually made a couple of cards for this challenge. You are not going to see the other one, as I didn't like it.  It may show up in another challenge after I fix it.  For now, this is my card.


I had printed out a digital stamp some time ago and decided to use it for this birthday card.  It is the Power Poppy Cuppa Cupcake. 
Cuppa Cupcake Digital Stamp Set
Then I stamped the sentiment from another set called Short stacks. 
 I put two together to make this one. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and layered on to some design paper from
 My Favorite Things. 

Don't forget to see what the rest of the design team has for your motivation.  You can find it Here
Thanks for stopping in and for your comments.  They make me happy.
