Cupcake inspiration challenge #26

Hi everyone, it's Sunday and that means it's time for another FABULOUS Cupcake Inspiration challenge from Hope Stamps Eternal! Check out this week's gorgeous creation!
OK, my card isn't up to par with this inspiration photo, trust me it was in MY MIND- LOL!

I was inpired by the orange blooms and green in the leaves. I pulled in the green by using some Cosmo Cricket Earth Love 6x6 mini deck, the leaves strip of PP is from Early Bird. I wanted something pretty simple and chose 3 Zva felt flowers, from the Cozy mix. The amazing stamped frame is from PTI's new Vintage Labels set. I colored it in with some copics and then went over them with a clear Sakura glitter pen. I used Memory Box rhinestones in the centers and along the bottom.

The ribbon is PTI's Orange Zest twill and there are scored lines along the bottom and above the ribbon. That lovely delicate sentiment is from Verve's Enjoy set. Man, nobody does sentiments like Julee!!

Hummm, I might be too hard on myself, but I think this card is a bit bottom heavy. I ran out of time to tinker with it some more, but I thinking maybe some stamped flourishes? More scoring? Something?!!

Everyone is invited to play along in the challenge!! If you do, be sure to link your creation to Mr. Linky on the HSE blog. Every week, Rach highlighs the top 5!! Congrats to this week's Top Picks!!!
