Here is a card that I have created to help inspire you...

FRONT
Digital Image Details: 
  • Birthday Girl and Birthday Cupcake:  The main image on the front is Birthday Girl and then I also added Birthday Cupcake to the inside of the sentiment.  Both of these images are currently available in the FBD store.  You can find them by clicking on the image name or watermarks below.

    •  I used Copics to colour both images in and chalk to ground Birthday Girl.
Digital Sentiment: 
  • A Birthday Wish circle:  A fabulous sentiment from the great Desert Diva herself, Hannelie!  I've picked up oodles of free sentiments from her and she does fabulous CAS cards as well.  If you'd like to check out her blog you can find it HERE.
Embellishments: 
  • The sequins are Crafts brand purchased at Dollarama.
Embossing Folder:
  • The large dots on the yellow and blue circles were created with a Goosebumpz embossing folder. 
Cricut Cartridge:
  • The circles were cut using the George Basic Shapes cartridge.

INSIDE
Digital Sentiment: 
  • This fabulous sentiment that I use over and over again was created by Paulette from Create with TLC.  Click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and HERE to go to the store.

OVERALL
Paper Products: 
  • Card base: Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, white.
  • Designer Papers:   
    • Both of the patterned papers used are from the Recollection's All Girl paper pad. 
    • The shimmery white used as matting behind the image and the cardstock used for the circles on the front, along with the yellow piece used on the inside for matting behind the sentiment are all Michael's open stock cardstock.

Exactly the inspiration I needed to make a due birthday card. She's colored beautifully and I love the chalk you used to ground her. Just got back from the POP blog and picked up some of your freebie sentiments...THANK YOU! Love how you make those. :)
hugs to you and happy hump day.
