There are a few things you may not be able to tell from the pic. I used Linen background on the pink layer for some added texture. Some of the cake flowers are colored with a burgundy Stardust gelly roll pen (Sakura) so they are sparkly IRL. The rest of the flowers are watercolored with an aquapainter and ink from the lid of the stamp pad. The ribbon is acutally a light pink dotted organdy, but looks almost white on the darker c/s. I used the flowers from the cake stamp (it is separate from the candles) to add a little bit of detail to the pink strip along the bottom of the card, but it is very subtle since there was already a lot going on.
