Another Side Step

Hello,
I'd meant to post this card on Saturday..for World Card Making Day...but hubby is fighting a bought of viral infection and laryngitis...so never got around to it...Sat and Sun were spent in playing dumb charades with each other as he was not allowed to talk at all....it was fun...so I sacrificed a post in favor of my own Barfi!! He's much better now...
So ... when I made this side step card...one of my friends loved it and wanted me to make for her best friend's birthday...so last week I took this up...took me a while to finish it since i can't sit for long stretches...fall on your bum and it hurts you for the next 6 months...(I should really control my rambling)

She wanted a black red white combo, but cupcakes had to be there!! rest all was up to me! So I went to town with the A5 side step card...

So here's what I made for her....the bright piece of paper is the envelope I made on my MS scoreboard!

Here are my cupcakes and presents! The presents are just scraps of paper that had been hoarded...a simple ribbon and a bow transformed them into presents.. The cupcakes are from Inkadinkado...colored with watercolors, fussy cut and glittered.... the yellow cupcake has been popped up on dimensional... 

The happy birthday sentiment is from hero arts...

 

Here you can probably see the shine on the cupcakes...its Martha Stewart Fine glitter...Both the ribbons are a RAK, the pink from Priya Venkat (please get used to my hoarding..you'll still find me using stuff you gave me, 5 yrs down the line! ) blue from Jan..

 Here is the main panel...the background embossed sheet is again a RAK from Priya Venkat...the image..Penny Black..colored with watercolor pencils and fussy cut...

The swirls are MFT dies cut with itsy bitsy glitter paper...and the flowers are cut using a die from Cuttlebug (purchased from Itsy bitsy)and layered..and a little bling stones and pearls. 

The square scallop is a Couture Creations die,  after die cutting, kept the die in place and sponged the paper with Barn door distress ink. 

So that's how this card was done...any questions..feel free to ask...

I made this keeping a few challenges in mind...
