Happy birthday - great card for those hard-to-make-for male family members

Cut an 11.5cm square of aqua cardstock, stamp the pinstripe background stamp on top using VersaMark ink and heat-emboss in white.

Blend Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink over the embossing to create a resist, focusing on making the edges darker than the centre of the panel.

Adhere the panel onto black cardstock and trim a narrow border, then adhere onto the card blank. Die-cut and adhere the large sentiment. Stamp the second part of the sentiment on black cardstock and heat-emboss in white, then adhere onto the card front.

Add a touch of shimmer to the large sentiment using the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen to finish.
