For my card I used two new stamps. The first one is the awesome Looped Flower Pattern background -- which happens to be one of my top five favorites in the whole catalog! I white embossed the image onto watercolor paper and then used watercolor paints fill in some of the areas.
The other stamp I used is a sentiment from the Circles clear stamp set. This set has four birthday sentiments and a mix of eight different sized circles. I'm always on the hunt for a good birthday sentiment and I know this is one I will be turning to a lot.
So here's a look at the two new stamps I used...
