Here are few tips on today's project.

1. I used markers to color in the cupcake image. It was fast and easy to do!
2. I added a small basic rhinestone jewel to the cupcake top. Can you see it?
3. The NEW, white delicate details lace tape is so cool!  I added a strip here to bring more texture to the card while mimicking the design on the designer paper. At $9.95 for 3.28' it's a GREAT DEAL!  You can also use the tape as a 'mask'. Lie it down on your cardstock, sponge over it, remove the tape and you'll have the delicate design on your cardstock!
4. I used the square punch to create the banner tail on the designer paper.
