A card made of pure stamping fun using the Best Year Yet stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and today's sketch.
I stamped the balloon cluster for some tone on tone texture on the card base. I took ink direct to paper to create my Tahitian Tide strip and silver heat embossed the present on it.
For my focal panel, I silver heat embossed the sentiment and then added the candles and extra stars as well as a border of the Lemon Lime Twist acting as my chartreuse for today's Alphabet Challenge color challenge.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

I love your idea of silver embossing the gift images on your Tahitian Tide panel! Super cute birthday card!

This is a cool stamp set. Love the silver embossing on your sentiment and also the back strip and I scrolled back up and you created that strip with your ink! I never think to do that and it looks awesome. I also love your balloon stamping on the eggplant. Love your colors with the pop of chartreuse! Faved!
