My middle granddaughter was three in early March, and I needed another child's birthday card. Since all three of my granddaughters are into unicorns, I decided to use the Pop-Up Box card design for her and follow the unicorn theme as well, but with different papers. I've used pink strawberry rainbows because pink is Sienna's favorite color! She gets three balloon for being 3-years old and lots of pink! I'm sure she will LOVE her card!
While checking out possible challenges to use to flush out my card design, I found 15 challenges that would fit. They are lists below:
1) TSBT722 - Twisted Sisters Bux Tour #7--May 2022/ Pink & Purple Birthday - 5/1/22. Challenge: make a birthday card using pink and purple that includes a sticker. My cark has lots of pink and purle layering and pop-up elements and included a sun sticker that has been color enhanced with Copics.

I think Sienna will more than love this card. This is so fun and cute and sparkly. My granddaughters both love pink and unicorns and interactive cards, so I know this will be a huge hit. I love all the glitter papers on this and that unicorn is one of the cutest ever. Fabulous card.
