This time around the "Toppings" options is "Vibrant Colors". However, you can also chose to do an Anything Goes birthday card, the choice is yours!
When I think of vibrant colors, the first thing that comes to mind is my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. They deliver the most vibrant color of any other ink that I own. I heat embossed my image with white embossing powder, and deliberately colored outside the lines as I thought this image was conducive to that technique. It's also kind of fun to do! I didn't want to cover up any of the image, so I chose to do a sentiment heat embossed on vellum.
My row of colorful flowers looks just like those in Darnell's inspiration challenge at Inspired By All The Little Things! Thanks, Darnell!

Very pretty. Love the vibrant colors and the sentiment embossed on vellum.
Have a great weekend Sandy.
Hi Sandy, That is one of the prettiest cards I have ever seen. I love the texture which you can easily see in the photo. The colors and the vellum and the heat embossing. Love it all.
:)
Egads, Sandy, your card is absolutely stunning and it fits PERFECTLY in the Inspired By All the Little Things challenge which I'm currently hosting! You will "whoop" when you see the photo inspiration and I hope it's 'legal' for you to play along!! Hugs, Darnell
I agree, Zigs are the best for vibrant watercolouring! Your flowers are bright and beautiful, and I love the loose watercolouring for them!
Beautiful! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
What a gorgeous card Sandy. I love that you embossed in white and then coloured outside of the lines, giving it such a dreamy watercolouresque look. The colours are very vibrant and are a good combination for this card. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Thank you, Sandy! Mwah! Hugs, Darnell
Going right to your Zigs was a good thing. This is a fabulous card and I love that you colored outside the lines. So Marvelous!
I agree Zigs do deliver the best vibrant color. You've used one on my favorite techniques with the white embossing. Lovely card.
What a beautiful card! I really love it.
I love the Zig markers too! They are just amazing! The loose watercoloring is really beautiful on that image!
Zigs definitely are one of the best for vibrancy, aren't they! Absolutely love what you've created, Sandy. The coloring outside the lines has given a look of both delicacy and vibrancy to your card - loving that effect!
hugs, Ashwini
I don't have any ZIGS and you are not helping me with my resistance with this beautiful card! Coloring outside the lines works perfectly with this image! FANTASTIC job with our topping!
so beautiful card
