Happy Birthday to You!

 
Hi there!
 
Hope you are doing well today!  I wanted to help celebrate Fusion's one year anniversary!  Happy Anniversary, Fusion!  And, I couldn't resist playing along with the challenge for I love the sketch and the colors...very fun and pretty! 
 
 
For my card, I started with a cream card base and paired it with gold paper, polka dot vellum, and pink polka paper.  The stamp is from Mama Elephant.  I used clear embossing powder and then went over the sentiment with my chalkboard pen.  I used crepe paper and tissue paper for the banner and added sequins and bows.  The bow die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the gold star stickers are from Heidi Swapp.  The cord is from SU, ribbon from PTI, and the sequins are from Paper Sweeties.
 
Thanks so much for taking a peek at my card today!  Take care!
 
Hugs,
Maria
