Amazing Birthday, CTD308

Today's card is for the Color Throwdown Challenge #308.  What a fun color combination.  This made me happy the minute I saw it.  Bright happy colors that screamed make a fun card.  So I did make a fun card.

I used the Amazing Birthday stamp set and Polka Dot embossing folder.  I stamped the main image a couple different ways before I was happy with it.  I tried using markers to stamp each different word but they just didn't look clean and nice.  So I stamped the whole thing with Daffodil Delight.  Then stamped it on a scrap piece of Whisper White in Melon Mambo.  I cut the little oval and banner out and used dimensionals to give it some added interest.  I didn't add any extra embellishments.  

I used the 3/4" circle punch and made a mask for the polka dots.  I then sponged Pumpkin Pie on all but the 2 polka dots under the saying.  Be sure to make your mask big enough so you aren't sponging ink everywhere.  Yup I say this because I did this.  :)
