Cupcake Birthday

I made this card for a color challenge at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog.  We were to use: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Tempting Turquoise.  I wouldn't usually use all these bright colors together, so I though this would be a good "challenge" for me.  In addition to using these colors of card stock, I also used patterned papers from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush Pad.  I paper-pieced the cupcake and cherry with the Basic Grey papers.  The stamps are from the "Cupcake Birthday" set by Mark's Finest Papers.  I used an old sketch (SC75) from Splitcoaststampers for my layout.  I completed the card by adding a small border cut with a Martha Stewart cupcake punch, some dew drops, and gingham ribbon, which coordinates almost perfectly with the Daffodil Delight.
