Y is for Yummy

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today we begin with Y is for Yummy - Food or Drink, chosen by Lynda. 

Please pop over to the blog to see the remainder of the design team's inspiration. 

For my card 

I recently visited Selfridges in London, I was inpired by the Cupcake bar, I managed to deny myself of indulging, but a few presents of cupcakes were bought to bring home. You could say I was inspired by this visit.

        I began with a 6" white , scallop edged card for the base. All the papers are from a CD. by Oh! La!La! The Shawn Jenkins Collection. There are three layers of cupcake papers, I then decoupaged

the three centre cupcakes and the greeting. A toning ribbon added from my stash.
