The Cupcake and Sentiment (Carpe Cupcake) is from Verve Visual AND it's on sale this month - 40% off...only $4.50. I am not reimbursed by Verve AT ALL; but if you order the set; please mention my name in the comments.
I had so much fun coloring the cupcake to match the cupcakes in the picture - even have a few sprinkles on top. The 'frosting' was accented with Glossy Accents - very cool IRL. The strip of paper behind the Berry Sorbet Polka Dot ribbon has the same 'sprinkles' stamped in VersaMark for a nice detail.

I sewed each of the layers and then distressed them both too. The papers are from MME (of course - LOL)! I also embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder. And check out that great 3D candle on top of the cupcake - (grin)!!
Go ahead; take some inspiration from those delightful cupcakes and join in the fun!
...calorie free cupcakes...
Hugs, ~M.
