I then wrapped two ribbons around the card and attached to the back a large white one on the left with balloons on and a cake and balloon one down the bottom.

I then placed my mounted image in the center with a stamped sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I stamped a cake and cut it out with another die and placed a large cut number 10 on top.
