Happy Birthday to YOU! - The Shabby Tea Room week #170

Edited to add:  6-16-13:  I am so excited that my card was chosen as one of The Shabby Tea Room's Terrific Top Three's this week!!!  Thanks so much!  Father's Day was a hard day for my son and I without my dear departed husband and this made me smile tonight! :)

Hello all,
Here with my card for this week's Shabby Tea Room inspiration:

We have been asked to use:  Blue, Pink, White (or cream) and flowers.  I had a lot of fun with this one and made a cupcake card.  I was totally inspired by the photo and by everyone's lovely creations in the tea room!  Each week is just full of eye candy that warms my heart! :)

 This card is making me wish I had a cupcake to eat!!!  LOL!



Below is a close up of the top of the cupcake...I used a digital paper to make the doily and roses and I embossed the pink card stock that the doily is sitting on.  There is a nice bling in the center of the largest rose but you cannot really see it in the pictures.  Perhaps I should have used a cream pearl - it might have shown up better in the photos...I may have to switch it before I give this card away to my Mom for her birthday in August!



A couple tiny tags, some 1/8" silk ribbon and a rose embellishment from Hobby Lobby dress up the sentiment area:


 I decided to take a photo against an Aqua Mist background so you can see the fabric lace flowers sticking out from the top of the card.   I got the idea to make these "lace" flowers from Melissa Phillip's blog "Lilybean's Paperie.  An example of hers that I love is HERE.  I diecut these lace flowers with my tattered florals Sissix die from Tim Holtz.  Love how easy it is to cut fabric with these!:
Thanks so much for looking at my card!  I have been in quite the pastel and homespun mood of late!
:) Jill
