Awesome Birthday card

Want to know what I find the most awesome about this card?  The fact that I already had the background piece made, and in my ready-to-use pile.  SWEET!  I made this a few months ago, when I was first playing around with the Brusho Color Crystals.  It's watercolor paper, water spritzed, and a combination of the red, yellow, and gamboge Brushos.  It was just waiting!

I decided to keep the red, and I added some Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody.  I LOVE the Mango!  The card base and Happy Birthday are Mango Melody. 

I stamped images from Gorgeous Grunge and Epic Celebration randomly all over the front.  Stamped the shoes on watercolor paper with Basic Black ink, and colored them in with red Brusho mixed with a little bit of water.  Heat set, and hand-cut.

You may not be able to see it, but the black circle is embossed with the new Subtle embossing folder.  

Everything glued or Sticky Strip'd down on the card, except for the shoes.  They are popped up with some dimensionals.

I used current colors, along with some retired and Paper Pumpkin stamps.  I am getting a lot of use out of this Epic Celebrations stamp set!
