The technique I wanted to try is stacked die-cuts (or whatever it's called!). I colored a scrap of Xpress-it with three Copic markers as close to Apricot Appeal, Peach Parfait and Summer Starfruit, then I cut the piece with the Birthday die cut from PTI. I then stacked 5 other plain white die cuts to build up the thickness of the layer. The "happy" was cut with my Cameo and the loops at the bottom were cut and hooked around the "birthday". Both words were covered with Wink of Stella for a subtle glimmer.
I randomly stamped some triangles from Geometrical onto a Whisper White panel using Apricot Appeal, Peach Parfait and Summer Starfuit ink.
The white panels were layered onto Always Artichoke and some candy dots finished the card.
Here's a peek of the inside:
