cupcake wrappers are not just for cupcakes!
I made this birthday card today, I did want to continue on with my scrapbooking but I'm having a problem with my Cricut software so I thought I would make this in the meantime. I used a black card and some yellow floral backing paper as well as a red floral cardstock border. I used my Cricut Paisley cartridge to cut out the dress but cut it half way down as I didn't need the bottom skirt part. I then got a cupcake wrapper and trimmed and folded it to make it look like a skirt. I used some black and white adhesive ribbon for the belt and a daisy for the belt buckle and a little silver heart on top of the bodice. I stamped Happy Birthday in black ink. I am really pleased with this, it just goes to show that things around the house can have a use in papercrafting! : )
