It's LeAnne's birthday today!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LeAnne!!!!!

We're throwing her a Birthday Celebration blog just for her :) So, with that in mind, I set out to make a fabu birthday card using Mercy's sketch. I haven't played in any current challenge for quite a while so I figured it was about time to get something done, eh?! I've been itching to play with some bright colours and the recent Stampin' Celebration challenge was just that! I pulled out the bright paper that I've had for a while and played around with it. The entire cupcake is paper pieced (love this cupcake best with that technique!) and then I accordioned some ribbon and stitched the ends with some linen thread.

Hope you like my card! Thanks for popping by today!
