Since you are heat embossing on black cardstock, it is absolutely necessary to rub the embossing buddy over the black cardstock before stamping and applying the embossing powder. This will reduce the static cling. If you do get white embossing powder where it does not belong, simply brush it off carefully with a small, thin watercolor brush. This white embossing on black gives the impression of a chalkboard image.

Next, color in the sentiment with your Blendabilities, Stamping Blends, Copics, or Markers.

Note that I also colored my rhinestones using the Coastal Cabana Blendability marker. Make sure it is dry before grabbing it to place on your card.

I simply used adhesive to put all the pieces together on my card. You may choose to raise your sentiment a bit and use dimensionals.

Birthday cards are a necessity in any card collection. Everyone enjoys receiving a card on their special day, including you. Here is one to send to the person who loves pink.

Stamps: Big Day

Paper: Blushing Bride A-2, Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper 5 1/4 x 2 (2), Coastal Cabana 1 7/8 x 3 7/8

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers: Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, So Saffron, Coastal Cabana

Accessories: Coastal Cabana Ribbon 15", Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, 2" Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Adhesive

I actually cut the DSP at 5 1/4 x 4. I then cut the 4" side in half, so that I had 2 pieces measuring 5 1/4 x 2. I then flipped one of the pieces to the other side. The wonderful thing about Stampin' Up! DSP is that it is double sided and always blends nicely with its counter side.

BONUS: As a matter of fact, I find that all of my stock even the discontinued products blend in with current products.
