The simple cupcake above is elevated because I enlarged the image plus used shimmered and glittered paper. It is delicious enough to eat! Sometimes, all you need to do is switch out a few elements with something fabulous and the design is brought to the next level. A little extra pizzazz can go a long way with a simple design. I applied this concept to cards from Day 10, Day 18 and Day 23. Try it and see how easy it is to make a few tweaks. Experimenting can lead to amazing creativity. Meet me back here for Day 28 of the 31 Days of Handmade Cards. Be creative!
