Chocolate Birthday
Card front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cover the card front with teal/brown foil swirls cardstock, with the swirls border on the top left. Mat “Chocolate is nature’s way of making up for Mondays” die-cut on pink cardstock with 1/8” borders. Mat again on light brown dotted cardstock with 3/16” borders. Glue as shown.
Place flourish Dazzles™ on the brown foil frame of the words die-cut at top, bottom, and sides. Add thin line Dazzles™ to the outer edges of the light brown dotted mat, trimming ends to fit. Decorate the swirl border with tiny star Dazzles™ as shown.
Ink the edges of the card front, 2 cupcakes, and 1 chocolate with silver ink and let dry. Place thin line Dazzles™ along the top and bottom edges of the cupcake liners, curving it with the shape of the art. Repeat for the top edge of the chocolate liner. Add tiny dots (innies from the scalloped thin line Dazzles™) to decorate the foiled sprinkles on the cupcakes.
