Bright Birthday

Hi, this is the sketch given at Sweet Stampin. I designed this card for it and it was also supposed to be for the "Birthdays" theme Challenge over at Just Magnolia. However, I missed the deadline of 8pm because some of my precious crafting time was spent on the phone to the police because some kind soul decided to steal both my number plates whilst I was having lunch with my mum in a quiet country pub!! After two phonecalls with the police I then had to go to my local car part store and buy two more number plates and then help my husband put them on! (Well, actually I stood and fetched and watched but my heart was in the right place!!) So consequently, I have only just finished it!
I decided that this card needed bright colours, and chose Pumpkin Pie, Lavender Lace, Rose Red and Whisper White. I then thought about what represents birthdays the most; I figured presents, balloons and of course cake were all a must!
This is an overhead view to show how I've folded back the front of the card.
And...... this is the card flat showing the decorated inside too! Incidentally, despite being a competent seamstress and having previously owned my own sewing businesses...... this is the first card I have stitched!!!

Forgot to mention - I didn't have any papers in Lavender Lace so I made my own using Lavender Lace cardstock and white Kraft ink and the bubble stamp from Circle Circus.
