What fun these colors were! I was going to make a pink lemonade image and I still might do that, I thought it would be cute. But the background took awhile and the bow looked nice and takes up a big part of the card. The ribbon is wired and its been in my stash for awhile, glad to use it. But it was hard to take a picture of.
For the card sentiment I used Picture Perfect Birthday which has really nice sentiments. And for the background I used the circle stamp from Bubble Over. I like that stamp set as well. I used a stencil first to color the circles then I stamped the "rings" with Versamark and embossed in white. I embossed the green circles in clear so they would be protected when I watercolored. That may not have been necessary. I finished by adding Powder Pink reinker with a brush. I raised the panel and wrapped it in gold thread. The gingham button came from **********. Thanks for Looking!

I adore this card! The background is fantastic, love the pink watercolored between the lime polka dots, plus the gold cord wrapped around the panel and the gorgeous navy bow just add such glam! It's a beauty!
