My dear friend Rozella's Birthday was in December (and she received this card on time). I wanted to work with some of our new Occasions stamps for her card.
I used lots of fun things on this card. DSP (Designer Series Paper), watercoloring, and die cuts. My friend really loves the Melon Mambo so I stayed near that color for coordinating pieces.
I had some of the banner pieces in a little baggie and thought they'd be perfect to mix with the new cake. I watercolored the cake to match the Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo pieces I already had, then punched them, and mounted them on top of a piece of ribbon I had left over from another project. The sequins (yes, I used to hate them - No, I don't anymore) are from the Gingham suite. The background is embossed with the new Lace embossing folder, and then I used a light touch with a sponge dauber to bring up the design a bit more.

The Happy Birthday die cuts come from a HUGE set of dies called Well Written from the Occasions catalog. I've already used them a lot and you'll continue seeing them on different posts.
