A chain of challenges made me think of patterned paper, stitching and TH small talk text strips. They all have their merits and all of it is 'just stuff', sitting unused in my drawers. Then it came to me: cupcakes - that was the answer.
So I rummaged through my drawers, pulled out papers and a flower, stamped and colored long ago for a project that never happened.
Now it all came together in this one card.
I am showing it in these challenged that contributed to its existence:
Creative Knockouts: #571 Stitching, faux or real. Mine is faux, stamped with turquoise Versafine Clear.
Paper Players: #PP788 Tic-tac-toe. I chose "flower - free (pink) - patterned paper"
Just Add Ink: #786 Just add Polkadots
Seize the Birthday: #327 Sweet Treat
