Cupcake for an Eightieth Birthday

Afternoon all!  Here's a card I was asked to make by a friend's Mum for her auntie who'll be celebrating her eightieth birthday next month.  I decided to use my Papermania Lucy Cromwell ultimate pack, I think you can't go wrong with it for ladies of any age as the designs and colours are so pretty.
I used a Craftwork Cards shaped and embossed blank and simply matted up with some pink card and some oh so pretty cupcake paper.  I then made up the decoupage topper, shaping the layers as I went, added some pink ribbon and attached a die cut sentiment with green glitter brads.  The number stickers are Papermania too, from the Birthdays range.  For a touch more girliness, I die cut a pink  butterfly using a Spellbinders die from my Positively Me set and stuck on some clear gems as the body.  Lastly, I decorated the cupcake with tiny pearls, I used them as centres on the embossed flowers too, used tiny pink pearls on the number panel and added pinks gems to the corners.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Papertake - ribbon and pearls
Speedy Fox and Friends - #134 - pop it up, I used decoupage
Paper Playtime - #89 - anything goes
Jellypark - I'm hungry
Creative Moments - #4 - anything goes
Do You Stack Up - #99 - numbers
