For my card I stamped and embossed the awesome Birthday Chart stamp onto some watercolor paper.
Then I colored over the embossed image with Distress Markers, spritzed it with water and let the colors mix.
Once the image was dry, I used the iron off technique to iron off the embossed sentiment, creating a perfectly smooth image. I am addicted to this awesome technique that I learned from Jennifer McGuire...HERE is a video she did showing you exactly how to do it.
Also, I used the Bubble Confetii stencil for the background. I just rubbed VersaMark ink over the openings of the stencil and then dusted on some Perfect Pearls to create the shiny silver dots.
