Of course I had to make a birthday card! The card above uses the MMH Classic Kit stamps and coordinating dies. First I created a background pattern that uses Pink Grapefruit ink and the small stamp confetti cluster included in the kit. I then cut out the center using the Postage Stamp Infinity Dies.

The focal point is that beautiful decorated cake! I stamped it on watercolor cardstock and used a variety of Hero Arts Reactive Inks (Creamsicle, Lemon, Taffy, Fruit Punch, Pool Party, Green Apple) to color the image. The images were die cut with my Compact Cutter and added to the center of the card using foam adhesive.

Next I'm sharing my card using one of the May New Releases - Sunburst Flowers Bold Prints. I love love (LOVE) Hero Arts' Bold Prints. Nothing beats that red rubber stamping :)

This card uses a fun watercoloring technique. I first stamped the image in three Reactive Ink colors Key Lime Fizz, Creamsicle, and Berry Smoothie on watercolor cardstock. The panel stayed in place in my MISTI while I sprayed the whole thing with water. This allows the Reactive Inks to spread the color.

With the stamp and panel in place in my MISTI, I then stamped again with Embossing Ink and heat embossed in Gold powder. I paired the background with a Happy Birthday sentiment cut from Kiwi cardstock and Gold Glitter. I also used the single balloon die from the new Balloon Bunch Fancy Die.
Make sure to visit all the stops on the hop! Enjoy the inspiration :)
