Cupcakes for morning tea

I caught up with a couple of lovely and talented friends (Chris and Debbie) who had celebrated their birthdays recently. We went to the "Where a Girl Goes" store/cafe for cupcakes and coffee. It has beautiful stationery, homemade chocolates, cupcakes and gorgeous teas.



I made them both a gift set that consisted of a fancy favor bag with hand cream and soap and a collapsible box with some lindt chocolates.

On the outside of both I used the En Francais background stamp, sponged the edges and added a watercoloured butterfly using the All a Flutter single stamp set (very similar to the cards in my previous post - see here). You can't see it, but I added crystal effects to the edges of the butterfly.
