Seize the Birthday ~ Script or text background

We have a topping challenge for you, we would like to see a script or text background on your birthday card at the Seize the Birthday Challenge
When my BFF was here over the SAF period, she brought some new stamps along that she won, so I stamped them, this was one of them.  I stamped the "happy" for my background text, water colored with my zigs and placed it on my card!  Easy peasy!
Remember this is the TOPPING to have script, but you can make any kind of birthday card!
 
stamps:  Stamplorations:  In Bloom, Floral Bliss; Altenew:  Painted Poppy; PTI:  Garden Grace
Bristol paper, zigs,
Dies:  PTI:  Tip Top die
 
Heart Hugs, friends!
