Well, I certainly jumped out of my comfort zone with the colors on this one. I've heard say this is a good thing every once in awhile, but it sure does color (no pun intended) how you actually feel about a card.
But onward...here are the deets:
The HAPPY is from Mama Elephant. I was struggling with keeping the colors separated, even with some masking, so I ended up cutting the stamp apart, reassembling on my MISTI, then pulling up the A and 2nd P before stamping the HPY with Altenew Moutain Mist Dye ink pad. I then put the A P back and removed the HPY before stamping with Memento Dandelion and Canteloupe (1 layer of each). IRL this gave me a pretty yellow-orange shade - brighter than came out on the pic.
Next I stamped the IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY sentiment (SSS) in Versamark on some black scrap card stock. Embossed in alabaster and die cut with MFT die. Made a second "blank" die cut for layering.
Stamped one of the pandas from Mama Elephant's Little Panda Agenda set and colored with Copics. Used a gel pen to decorate his hat and balloon.
Card was assembled using 2 layers of black (for dimension) and one thin card stock layer of white under my focal panel - just the right amount of depth. Attached my sentiment, panda and star sequins and called it done.

Oh, missed this one. I love the colors in "Happy" and your little panda seems ready for the party. It's such a super birthday card.
