Sweet birthday card

I made a birthday card for the StampTV MIUM challenge - Coffee, Tea, Sweets, Oh My! I decided to make a birthday card with a cupcake and a cup of coffee.

I started with a piece of white cardstock and used my alcohol inks to create a background. I stamped the images and sentiments, coloured the coffee and cup and added a little bit of colour to the cupcake frosting. I cut them out and sponged the edges. I die cut the oval mat and punched out the circle mats. 

I matted the background and adhered this to a white card base.  I layered the images and sentiment onto the mats and then attached them to the background with some foam squares. I coloured some clear rhinestones with an alcohol marker and attached them onto the card front.
