Happy 3rd Birthday

I struggled a bit making this card - first trying to come up with the right color combination and then how to put it all together!

I used Blueberry Sky cardstock for the base and added a layer of white.  On top of the white, I added a strip of Chartreuse, embossed with polka dots, a strip of wavy, multi-colored paper and another strip of Blueberry.

I die-cut the stars garland and stamped them in various blues and green.  I cut another garland, stamped "happy" on it and adhered both garlands on foam tape.  The "3" was die-cut twice, once in white and once in Chartreuse and adhered on foam tape.  The "rd" was cut in the matching wavy paper.  

I stamped "birthday" in Versamark, sprinkled it with white embossing powder and embossed it with a heat tool.  I die-cut "Hudson's" name in Blueberry and adhered the letters up and down instead of just a plain straight line.  I die-cut the stitched stars and placed them on foam tape.

To complete the card, I wrapped a blue and white ribbon around the spine, tying it in a single knot.  I also added a little bit of glitter to the bottom of the stars.
