Birthday Tag for a Sketch & Color Challenge

I made this tag for the MojoMonday sketch# 208 here. And I used the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#169 here. 
The base is Sahara Sand and I cut that out with the Scallop Square Bigz Clear die. I added some dots with my Basic Black Stampin' write marker. I layered a Basic Black piece and a Pool Party piece. I punched a square of the Patterns DSP Neutrals stack of Basic Black with the 1 3/8 inch Square punch. I cut a rectangle of Sahara Sand from the same Patterns DSP and a rectangle of Pool Party DSP from the Domestic Goddess DSP. I stamped the cake from Bring on the Cake in Basic Black and used Pool Party and Sahara Sand ink and blender pens to color it in. I punched a Whisper White flower with the Blossoms Bouquet Triple Layer punch. A Sahara Sand circle was punched with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and a Pool Party Designer Printed Brad is in the center. I popped up the flower with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, some 3/8 inch Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon finishes it off.
