This is the birthday card I made with Gina K Designs' All About You stamp set. I think this greeting is a wonderful replacement with the regular happy birthday.

I white embossed the main image (from Gina K Designs' Holiday Tapestry stamp set) and the greeting on watercolor paper. I sprinkled some red and gold Cosmic Shimmer Pixie powders on the watercolor paper and mist water to let them spread out. Then I cut it out with a circle die and attached it in the middle of the card. Below is another look of the card:

Stay Crafty With Hero Challenge #18 - Inspired By...

Here is Stay Crafty With Hero Challenge #18 - Inspired By..., below is the challenge photo:

 

I was inspired by Hero Arts' creative team Maria Willis' rainbow background card, you can see the post here. Below is the inspired card I made to attend the challenge:

I clear embossed Hero Arts' Branches Bold Prints background on white cardstock. Then I blended in rainbow colors of Distress Oxide inks to resist the branches. I spray the iridescent shimmer mist on the background and let it dry. I die cut Hero Arts' Leaves & Vines Fancy Die from black cardstock three times. I stacked them together and used a round die to cut it out and attach it on the round cut vellum. I white embossed "inked with love" (from Hero Arts' Stamped Just For You set) on a small stripe of black cardstock and attached it on the round die cut. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI, Stampin' Up, vellum

Ink Pads: Versamark, Distress Oxide inks
