I started this card by creating the background with a trio of patterned papers and anchoring them, to the White, cardstock, card face, with silver-threaded, straight, machine stitches. I then wrapped a length of Grape seam binding ribbon, horizontally, around two of their connections and tied it, in a double bow, near the right edge of the card face, before embellishing it with a bit of Pool Party ribbon, tied in a bow, as well as an ivory button, laced with white chord.
Everything was then topped with a couple of journaling cards, one of which was stamped, in Jet Black ink, with the "Happy Birthday" sentiment...
and a little, white envelope for tucking a gift card in for the recipient, before I added a dose of glitter to each little polka dot on the plum-colored, patterned paper.
The cake image was stamped, in Jet Black ink, on a White, cardstock die cut; colored in with pencils; and topped with both a handful of sequins and chipboard heart. The heart was painted with acrylic paint, ink distressed, and given lots of sparkle with glitter. A stamped, in Perfect Plum ink, on a White, cardstock die cut bloom, which was topped with more glitter for sparkle and flanked with a couple of leaves, which were stamped, in Jet Black ink, on White, cardstock die cuts and colored in with pencils, completes the look.

And the Paper Sweeties Design Team is super excited to have been asked to join Cupcake Inspirations in celebrating their 300th challenge by sponsoring and participating in their Challenge #300: Sparkle. Thus, the reason for all the scrumptious glitter and sequins above.
