Hello Stampers!  It is Sunday and you know what that means, it is Featured Stamper Challenge Time on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's Features Stamper is Karen is this is the card I chose from her gallery:

I really liked the confetti background and the rainbow colors in the patterned paper.  So I started by stenciling on the confetti background.  Then I blended inks on white card stock and die cut the Birthday Trio dies. I got that all assembled and put it on the background and it was all just too bright.  The birthday dies blended in with the background and it was hard to see what it said.  So I got out some vellum and layered that on top and that softened my background.  I dug out some brads to adhere the vellum to the stenciled background.  Then I adhered the Happy Birthday.  For the inside I wanted to incorporate the rainbow colors from the front so I cut strips of paper and adhered them to the inside of my card.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered that to the rainbow strips.  And that completed my card!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!
