Happy Dots—I highlighted the debossed word by stamping over the top of it with Happy Celebration dots. I stamped the smaller dot in Flirty Flamingo ink and the larger one in Peekaboo Peach. I stamped in full strength over the word and randomly over the whole card, and also added some stamped-off dots to create some depth.
Shimmery Sentiment—You can't see it very well, but I brushed on some Wink of Stella Clear glimmer on the debossed letters…So Pretty!
Happy Accents—Before mounting the card front onto a Flirty Flamingo card base, I wrapped some Tasty Treats Washi Tape around the card under the debossed word and tied on some White Baker's Twine.
Sweet Sentiment—I finished the Happy Celebrations greeting by stamping the second phrase in VersaMark Ink onto a 1-3/4" x 1/2" strip of Peekaboo Peach card stock, and embossing it with White Embossing Powder. It's fishtailed, then popped up with Dimensionals.
Inside The Card—Let's be honest. Sometimes, you don't want to have to think up what to write inside the card, and when that happens, you can use the awesome new Big On Birthdays stamp set to fill up all that space! LOL! Stamped in Flirty Flamingo and trimmed with more Tasty Treats Washi Tape.
Two Cool—The second version has Happy Celebrations dots stamped in Pool Party, Perfect Plum and Sweet Sugarplum.
Careful, Careful—Be sure to use a light touch when stamping over the debossed areas. You can see that some of the edges of my dots accidentally stamped inside the letters. I think it helps to stamp on a Paper Piercing Mat, and to press firmly enough to get a solid connection, but not with too much pressure. Let the stamp set on the paper a few seconds so the ink transfers fully.
Accents—I skipped the washi tape on this card, but added Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine. I used a different Happy Celebrations greeting on Perfect Plum card stock.
