Birthday card featuring a large birthday cake, ribbon and an oval greeting

A special card for a special person!!!  I started with a large black card that fit in an envelope from my stash.  I created the large birthday cake by layering decorative paper strips onto coordinating cardstock and trimming the edge with scalloped decorative scissors.  I glued them to each other, added dots in the scallops using a clear glitter pen then mounted it to the back of the cake plate (Vecteezy) which I had printed and fussy cut.  I found the candle (Beccy's Place) in my stash of images, watercoloured it to coordinate and then adhered it to the back of the cake.  Added a bit of clear glitter to the flame and the yellow stripes.  I added the two strips of ribbon to the left hand side of the background paper before mounting it to the black card.  I watercoloured the greeting (Birds Cards) which was laser printed and punched with a large oval punch (SU).  I mounted it over the ribbon using 3D foam tape and then did the same with the large cake.  Therese
