Happy Birthday!

Here's that new favorite Happy Birthday stamp showing up again. 

This first card, I used the die cuts that coordinate with the stamp set.  The balloons are stamped in varying shades of purples and greens. 
 On this birthday card, I used lots of different techniques.  The background is embossed with the Tufted folder, the Trio punch made the corners, and the Around the Corner stamp set makes those square corners much less plain! 
On the Happy Birthday and balloons, I used a rolling technique to get the color variations.  Stamp in the lighter color - Highland Heather here - then roll just the edges of the stamp in a darker, coordinating color.  I used Gorgeous Grape.  It gives you a different gradient of colors. 

Colors used on these cards:  Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Shaded Spruce, Soft Seafoam, Granny Apple Green, Lovely Lipstick.
