I started with a lilac card and then trimmed a piece of decorative rainbow paper to fit. I embossed three strips of vellum with polka dots, folded the tops over the edge of the background and secured them on the back with regular tape. I put a little piece on the bottoms as well to keep them from moving. I glued the background to my card front. The balloons I had made earlier. They are digital (CLKER) and were printed on white and fussy cut. I watercoloured them then added glitter glue to them and left them to dry. They are beautifully sparkly!!! I tied black heavyweight thread to them and then used 3D foam tape to position them on my card front. Love how they look!!! I embossed a strip of white cardstock repeatedly with the Happy Birthday embosing folder (CB) and then trimmed a piece the size I needed. I layered it with pink cardstock strips - top and bottom. I added this embossed strip to the bottom of my card. I used glitter glue to embellish the little cake in the greeting and gel pens to colour the candles!! Perfect!!! Finally, I added a bit of white glue to the places the balloon cords fell naturally and placed them in the little puddle and left them to dry. I am so happy with how it turned out!! Therese
