Steph and Michele gave us an inspiration site that you have to see to believe. I can't print what I said when I opened their site. Unbelievable what can be done with a cupcake. I chose the vintage cupcakes. I needed to make a very special card for a very special couple. Our neighbors are celebrating 60 years of marriage.Can you image 60 years? They both are doing fine, and live in their own home. I wanted to make it personal. I computer generated their names and the date of the celebration. I scored lines like the cupcake and added pearls. I started to put rhinestones, because 60 years is the diamond anniversary. It didn't look like what I wanted so changed them to pearls. Added two different laces, and a bow. It turned out like I had invisioned. tfl

Wow, Linda!! As special, personal, and stunning as stunning can be. So many beautiful elements. Creative mastery at it's best. Glad you got the effect with the pearls that you wanted and I don't think the couple will notice or mind in the least that they are not "diamonds"; this beautiful package of creativity is a treasure.

Gorgeous card! I know they will treasure it ... the best part of making cards and giving them, huh? Nice scoring and the pearls look great. The lace and ribbon are scrumptious!

I'm sure the happy couple will treasure your card! What a beauty, so elegant, love how you personalized the label!! I have some fancy tags spellbinders, and this is a perfect idea for them! TFS
