Happy Birthday Cupcake

With so many red, white and blue challenges at the moment, I decided to make a card to play along with a few.  It's not a colour combo I use a lot, but I really enjoyed making this fun card in bold colours.

 The cupcake image is a Bugaboo digi, coloured with Promarkers, and "iced" with Cosmic Shimmer PVA, which dries opaque white, then sprinkled with red micro beads for, well, sprinkles!  I cut the cake out, leaving a narrow border, and stuck it on a white mat, raised with foam pads, embossed with a bunting pattern, done with an Embossalicious folder.
The papers are Papermania Capsule Collection, Spots and Stripes in Brights, I cut the bunting from this too using a Joy die, adding the lettering with Papermania Madame Payraude stickers.
I made the flowers with a Spellbinders die, Woodware punch, Nellie Snellen punch, and another Woodware punch for the leaves.  A trio of clear gems and some doodling with a white pen finish my card.
