I love that Piali created her own sprinkles with bling!
She also layered her cupcake with pop dots and she used a ribbon and tag to add some dimension to her card as well as a texture plate of the background what a great card full of fun elements!

Jacquie always finds the absolute cutest designer paper! I love the soft colors to this card the layering and the bow and not only did she use glitter she used big bling!
