More Pink......


I thought I was a little tired of pink after "pink week" on Splitcoast Stampers, but I discovered this SU Designer Paper today and HAD to make a card with it. Since I'm still trying to get some birthday cards together for my mom, I figured this would be a really quick card. I really like the softness and elegance of this, even though it's a very simple card.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: It's Your Birthday (SU)
Ink: Pretty In Pink
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette (SU), White
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Embossing Folders, Ribbon, Dimensionals, SU DP

Amethyst Birthday Card

I just can't get enough of this "Inspired By Nature" set from Stampin' UP! It is so versatile - you can either use it as a silhouette, or use every color combination you can think of. I used Stampin' UP! markers to color the stamp, sprayed the stamp with a fine mist of water, then stamped the image on watercolor paper. I misted the stamp one more time and stamped this image. Since I am needing some birthday cards, I added the "HB" image and some brads for the finishing touch. This is Sketch #190 from the Splitcoast Stampers site.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Inspired By Nature, It's Your Birthday (SU)
Ink: Almost Amethyst
Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, White, SU DP, Watercolor Paper
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder, Brads, Dimensionals, Nestibilities
