What a Treat!

Today's card is a big "THANK YOU" to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog.  They chose me as a VIP for my "Hippy Birthday" card a couple of weeks ago during their birthday bash, and sent me a wonderful stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called Savor Sweet Cupcakes


The "What a Treat" and all three cupcakes are from Savor Sweet Cupcakes.  The papers are from the Restoration Collection of Crate Paper: Slipcover and Fringe.  I used Gathered Twigs Distress ink, and White embossing powder.  The kraft colored circles are cut out of a Coffee cup sleeve (I liked the texture).  I'm not sure about the "Thank You" sentiment.  You see, when I first began stamping a few months ago, I bought a lot of wooden stamps from a Craig's List seller.  I didn't understand the importance of knowing the brand for future reference, and I took them all off the wood and made them cling so I could store them easier.  Okay, shoot me now!  I've been looking online to try to identify them. 

I'm entering this card in two challenges.  I punched out the circles in the patterned paper and raised it up on foam, so it's going in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge (mainly so they can see my "Thank You" to them ; ).
I'm also entering it in the Lily Pad Cards Vera's View Challenge.  It's too hard to resist those cupcakes!
Thanks for coming over to visit today!
