Happy Birthday - (CTD440)

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge!

For my card, I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Morning by Morning and Graceful Greetings to create a birthday card.  After seeing the colors and inspiration photo for today's challenge, I decided that the morning glories from the Morning by Morning set would be perfect.  I started out with a piece of watercolor paper which I die cut using a scalloped rectangle die and then used a little daffodil delight ink to add some watercolor to the background.  Once my watercoloring was dry, I stamped my birthday sentiment using my Misti tool to get a nice dark application of black ink.  Next I die cut and stamped the large morning glory image from the set along with a few extra pieces using orchid opulence, daffodil delight and limeade ice ink. I popped up two of the larger flowers with foam tape and adhered the images to my watercolored panel and then adhered the panel to my card front.  As a finishing touch, I used some yellow Copic marker to add some shading on the flowers and added some iridescent sequins.
