I love using VersaMark ink and Clear Embossing Powder for background techniques – here's a close up of the polka dots from the Playful Background stamp set – it's retiring on June 3rd. I'm so happy that I have this one!
I'm always happy with a colorful card and this one makes me smile! It's an easy technique with a gazillion different possibilities.
And some fun on the inside is always a must for me!

I love the colours, the stamping on the background and the happy look of the card!!
I like the Black Birthday the best, but with white makes it look richer.
Both extremely beautiful but partial to the black!
Love all your cards, tried to post on u tube, couldn’t find the link, just wanted to say love watching you, I am from Oregon my demo doesn’t participate on line anything, she is awesome just as you are. Always give a thumbs up!
What a cute idea to put the twine on the balloon. Your tutorials are always informative and fun to watch. Love that card. Thank you Denise
Black on the bottom very cute
Fun card and love the background stamping too! Zoe x
Loved the black and your tutorials are always fun.
What a clever card made easy. I like the shadow effect of the Happy Birthday. I do that quite often. Your video was awesome.
I absolutely love this card and your method…also love all your videos. I do want to ask about the wood plank looking background…I see it in a lot of Demonstrator videos, how/where can I get it?
Thank you in advance, Ginney Juarez
Such a happy card! Thanks for sharing!
I love visiting with you to see what you are making. Love the videos and the projects. I can’t choose between the Happy Birthdays, so I will have to try both! (Any excuse to get in the stamp room)

Hi Kelly thanks for sharing this fun birthday card idea-
I really like them both but was most impressed with the clear embossed background technique!
I preferred the black Happy Birthday. Would be fun to try putting the white under the black. Great card.
