Happy Valentine Birthday Card

Created this birthday card for a couple of challenges:
Die Cut Divas Birthday Sketch challenge, Birthday
Sundaes Birthday Card challenge with optional new
(my new is the paper is from Target pkg of Valentine
paper that I bought today for $1 which
has several sheets in it), and Perfect Sentiments
Vellum Valentine challenge.

Sketches are not my forte so I stepped out of my
comfort zone and I'm pleased with my creation.

When I selected the cupcake I wanted to use from
Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge the heart on
cupcake2 image reminded me of a friend whose
birthday is on Valentine's Day so figured why
not make it a Happy Valentine Birthday Card.

I had fun with the glitter.
