To start this card I picked out the patterned papers I wanted to use from the Birthday Time Paper Pad.  I die cut the cupcake patterned paper using the large scalloped rectangle die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I then cut the striped patterned paper to 1 3/4 inches wide and used the same die again to cut the outside edges.  I cut the sprinkle patterned paper with the second largest tag die from the Essential Tags Die Set.   

I stamped out this super cute image of Newton with his huge cupcake, sprinkles, and cherry from Newton's Cupcake Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.  I then fussy cut around the sprinkles individually.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from Newton's Cupcake Stamp Set, directly onto the cupcake wrapper with black pigment ink, and clear heat embossed for some shine!

I assembled my card according to the sketch, using yellow glitter cardstock from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment for the base.  I added a pink bow to the tag, and popped up the images with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card, I added accents with a white gel pen, a little bit of glitter on the sprinkles, glossy accents on Newton's nose, and a few sparkling sequins!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
