For my card, I started with a top folding A2 white card and stenciled bokeh circles in three different colors. Then I die cut the 'Happy birthday' out of a panel of smoke cardstock as the top panel. Before glueing the top panel on, I stamped the sentiment (it made me laugh) and drew a little martini glass next to it. I adhered the gray panel down and the little negative pieces in the letters. My last touch was adding a few sparkly sequins.

Stamps: MFT - Sassy pants birthday greetings
Dies: MFT - Happy Birthday block
Inks: Distress ink - Ripe persimmon, Dried Marigold, Mustard seed;MFT - Extreme black
