Cupcake Challenge 151

Hello campers! Today on Cupcake Challenge 151 we have a theme of wish upon a star and this week we are sponsored once again by Crafty Emma's Store who are giving us a £10 gift certificate as a prize.

For my card I have used a very neglected FF stamp and he is coloured with copics. I paper pieced the blanket and the little gift tag - I think the blanket on this stamp is just perfect for paper piecing!

The embossing has been done with  Joy Embossing Stencil called bubbles and I finished off with some ribbon, pearls and a button from my stash.
