Ken Oliver Color Bursts

Today is the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card.  This is card number 25 and this is the first card for year #3. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success started with Kelly and the general theme is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a group of 6 and we will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other 5 members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I made two backgrounds with Ken Oliver Color Burst.  I have three sets of these and have used them only once or twice before.  For this background, I used blue, yellow and green on Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock.  I die cut the colorful background with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 and layered over a piece of Silver Sparkle Cardstock.   I then die cut the Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday to You from the same silver cardstock from The Paper Cut, along with Stampin' Up's Brilliant Blue.  I layered the blue over the silver and offset a bit to allow the silver to show.  I added a few Studio Katia Satin Rainbow Confetti for the final touch!   I really like the look of this card and hope you do too. 

Here is the inside of my card:
