Tiered Cupcake Birthday - Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge #26

I haven't seen my sister in Vancouver in more than 3 years, and I miss her terribly.  Her birthday is coming up on March 11, but since I will be in hospital having had knee replacerment surgery on March 9 I won't see her again this year on her birthday.
So, today I made a birthday card for her using the Sketch Challenge with Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge here 
My plan is to mail it off early and phone her before I go in the hospital.
My sister loves chocolate, so the cupcakes had to be chocolate ones - and they do look yummy !!

Here is the challenge:

My card:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Petite Pairs

Crazy for Cupcakes Birthday - The Friday Mashup #40

Strangely it's my birthday this week as, as well as 2 of my friends, so making this birthday card was very timely. I'm going to have to make a couple more, but this is a start.
The challenge with the Friday Mashup here is not only to make a birthday card, but it make it using pastels. I used Stampin Pastels with a blender pen to color the focal image.

Stamp: Crazy for Cupcakes
Inks: Black stazon, Stampin Pastels
Papers: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Fabulous Florets Designer Paper
Accessories: Square Lattice embossing folder, Liquid applique, rhinestones, dazzling details, 5/8" White Grosgrain ribbon, Tasteful Trim die
