					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Celebrating birthday is one of our favorite ways to celebrate someone&#8217;s special day in and I love sending a handmade card is to make someone&#8217;s day feel special&#8230; And today is I am sharing a card to celebrate a special birthday of someone we love.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a birthday card I made with some cool &#8211; ombre color palette:</p>
<p><a title="Happy Birthday Concord &amp; 9th" href="http://wp.me/p1DmW0-2xr" data-flickr-embed="true"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c6.staticflickr.com/9/8247/28879313085_dc86bce2e1_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="Happy Birthday Concord &amp; 9th" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>I used the <a href="http://concordand9th.com/collections/bundles/products/bundle-eat-cake">Eat Cake Bundle</a>. I created the watercolored background using Canson watercolor paper and CTMH Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads: <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/Retail/product.aspx?itemid=8702">Sapphire</a> and <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=746&amp;ci=6081">Crystal Blue</a>. Once the watercolored background is dry well, I heat-embossed the stars from the Eat Cake stamp set with <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8056">Ranger<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> White Super Fine Embossing Powder</a>, <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=972">VersaMark<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Ink Pad</a>, and <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=510">Craft Heater</a>. I could not find my <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=3384">Edge Distresser</a> because I forgot where I put it! So, I tear the edges.</p>
<p>I stamped the sentiment with the same ink pads but second generation stamping to get the softer ombre color <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and then I die-cut it with the matching Eat Cake die set. For the cake, I stamped it with VersaFine ink pad and I also die-cut it with the matching die set.</p>
<p>Once all pieces are ready, I added the background first with Tombow adhesive runner, and then I added the silver thread on it. I secure the thread by adding the cake with 3d foam adhesive, then the sentiment with 3d foam adhesive, too.</p>
<p>I love the simple cool color palette on this card. What do you think? How do you celebrate someone&#8217;s special day?</p>
<p>Thank You for visiting me today and have a fabulous blessed day!</p>
