To start this card I used the Confetti Stencil with smooth white cardstock and blended on Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, and Salty Ocean.  I then cut it out using the Card Layout 4 Die.  I used the same die again to cut the frame using a piece of orange glitter cardstock from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment.  

Next, I stamped out this super cute image of Newton and the party hat from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I then used the stitched fishtail banner die from the Banner Trio Die Set to cut a piece of blue cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set, and white heat embossed.

I assembled my card using blue cardstock for the base, and popped up the image and sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension.
