Starry Birthday

I received a free star stamp with a magazine I bought recently and wanted to make a card with it.
The stars were inked with versamark then embossed with silver and sparkly black powder.  I inked in the background with some pale blues and greens, applying them with a sponge dauber.
The large letters were embossed in silver, then inked over with dark blue, then carefully cut out so that some of the blue background could still be seen.  The birthday part was handwritten.
Am entering this into the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge: impress us
