The stamp is from Woodware and I stamped it in black Versafine embossed with clear powder then coloured with three different colour Promarkers. I coloured some scraps of card with the same colours of Promarkers then cut the little stars out using a die from Mama Elephant. The border around the edge was drawn with a thin marker pen then the panel adhered to a Kraft card base. I am really happy with the CAS result and I like the colours which are very different to what I usually use. This stamp is so useful. It can be used for anyone just by changing the colours and adding different embellishments or just leaving it with no embellishments and adding glossy accents or glitter. I have another large stamp with just the word 'happy' and then several little sentiments to go with it. It is so far un-inked! I must get round to using it sometime!

Love your card, it really is a great stamp and like you say, it could be used for any birthday, male or female. I really like the idea of using Glossy Accents on the words, I bet that looks wonderful too! Hugs, Anne xx
