Today is also the first day of a new House Mouse and Friends challenge... I am entering this card there, because this stamp is definitely a favorite for me. :) I love the fully-satisfied-with-life look on the mouse's face... And the bitten marshmallows.. :)
On to the card, then!
...I did not pick a good time of day to photograph this, the lighting is a bit dark...

I wanted to make the card really colorful and ended up layering papers. I Cuttlebug-embossed them and used mounting tape for dimension. Plus, some stickles and ribbon.. I doubt I can do without those. :)

For the inside, I simply stamped some little decorative images on white cardstock, colored them with Prismacolor pencils, cut out, and taped to the card. I used the Glitter Ritz cool highlights all over the butterfly and the balloons, and they really do shine! It turned out hard to photograph it though. :/ But here are my attempts to capture the details... :)
Oh, and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment was stamped in white and heat-embossed with some clear powder. :) I added random colors of Stickles to the dots, too..
