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...

Thanks Much on your great idea on using watercolor paper with Hero Art Stamps! Another great way to incorporate my watercolor paper stash, watercolors into stamping projects and Holiday gifts!
Love the flower loops!
That's such a fun way to color the background. Thanks for the tip!
What a GREAT way to use the background stamp!
How long did it take you to color the looped background? It was worth it!
love the background stamp! auntiemaryann
Beuatiful!
Love the cards! I agree you can never have enough birthday stamps!
Love what you did with the stamp! It took me awhile to study the card to see how you did that! I love that stuff! TFS!
Really like this set, I would like to use this to make a wedding card....the background stamp is the pattern used to make the double wedding ring quilt except the quilt pattern is much larger scale of course...I have made two of these quilts in various material colors and patterns...they are beautiful in color coordinated prints and solids or a hodge podge of different colors as you did on you card...makes a very bright and cheery card...love the concept
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this background stamp! All the possibilities for colouring are very interesting!
Lovely card. Awesome background stamp!TFS
Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to having some of the new stamps.
Ooh - such a cool Bday sentiment. Also a great affirmation piece :)

Gorgeous card. I love the coloring technique.
Love the watercolors!
Super-duper work. Am really liking this new background.
What fun stamps and love all the bright colors on the card.
great card - love the white emboss on the white card.
Great idea - use grey or silver and it probably will look like hammered metal which then makes a great masculine card
I can't wait to get a catalog!!
Yummy! Looks like candy! :)
Such great new stamp sets!!! Can't wait to shop!!!!
oh boy another background stamp I need and I do love that sentiment stamp - thanks for sharing

The circle stamp is so varietal,something I love and the looped flower would be a great stamp with a floral stamp. These are great stamps, love them!
This is a really cool use for that background stamp. I like that not all the bits are colored in; the colored parts and white space look well-balanced.
What a fun card! Love that background!

just love background stamps...use them all the time
Such a clever use of this stamp! Makes it look completely different from the original - me like!
I LOVE how you used the background stamp. When I first saw your card I was thinking, how did she get those different colors?! What a fun stamp, I can't wait to get my hands on that one. The birthday sentiment circle looks cool as well, isn't it great when one stamp set does multiple duties? Go Hero Arts!
Genious way to use the embossing folder and add great color.

Very colourful background and a very useful stamp for all kind of colour combinations.

I love the the touch of watercolor. It really adds depth and dimension to the card. Those new circular birthday stamps are a new "must have" for me.
Love the colors you used! The way you colored the image, makes it look totally different than the stamp. Great job! Best, Curt
Great card to show a cool way to embellish that background stamp with some color - love the B-day sentiment that would work for all ages! (P.S. I think I initially left this comment on the wrong post after signing in with Google - sorry!)
Oh the circle set is great! Perfect for lots of punches!
I love adding my OWN bits to stamps too! Super creative!
This is such a fun card! Love it

Love this stamp set - Great card!
LOVE your card. I can imagine myself coloring on my couch watching TV (with Jen Mcguire's new Inktense pencils, of course).
I really like the background. I see lots of uses for it. Unless it looks a lot different in person, I can see using the Looped flower pattern for a masculine card. . . using metallic colors and make the it a sheet of metal!
Gorgeous card and stamps. Fun colors. TFS
Thank you for sharing such fun and bright card. I love it.
Wow I love that loopy flower background stamp.I love how you embossed and then water colored in.

I think I am going to have to get that loopy flower set for myself! love the circles one too.
I love how you filled in some of the open spots on the embossed paper. I have never done that but think it looks great! The birthday stamps are really neat. I am always looking for new birthday stamps as I seem to need those the most. TFS!

Great ideas and nice touch with the flower stamp
Your colorful background made me smile--reminded me of jelly beans! I must be hungry. I can see that in addition to being colorful and cheerful, that image would make a wonderful subtle background by just clear embossing. TFS
