Peach, Poppy & Pear Cupcakes

Hello there! It is finally the weekend! Whoop whoop! (This post was scheduled for early this morning and Blogger didn't cooperate with me again...sigh!) I have to share that yesterday was also my sweet husband's birthday! No, this is NOT his birthday card...I don't think sparkly cupcakes are quite his "thing". :) I have a fun weekend planned for him though, shared with some GREAT friends. My card today was inspired by two challenges that I have not played with in a VERY long time. First up, I just LOVE the fabulous color combo from Pals Paper Arts this week: 

I combined those colors with this sketch from the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge:

I had it in my mind that I wanted to use the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set for this card. I got the image stamped and colored then just couldn't figure out what to do with it. The circles on the bottom of the sketch really threw me for a loop. I attempted about 5 different border punches but nothing seemed to click.Then, I ran some Poppy Parade card stock through the Crimper (to mimic the bottoms of the cupcakes) and punched some circles. A few of them are popped up to add a little dimension. The cupcakes were decorated with some sparkle then topped off with dabs of Crystal Effects on the cherries. 
I also sponged some Poppy Parade ink on the Pear Pizzazz card stock and the banner sentiment. Finally, here is the inside of the card: 
Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Enjoy your day today! :)
