For All You Do

Pin It Now! Good Monday morning! It's not quite 7 AM & already the temp is 71; a very great start to the week ;) Yesterday was the April Stamp Camp & we had a fun time! We focused on our favorite ladies & made a couple Mother's Day cards & birthday cards. Today I'd like to share one of the birthday cards with you. I stepped out of my comfort zone & used pink, orange, & purple together (gasp!) I'm quite pleased with how it turned out though; here it is:

The card base is Melon Mambo with a strip of Peach Parfait DSP (from the In Color designer series pack).We then added a layer of Elegant Eggplant with white card stock. The stems were stamped using Pear Pizzazz (my favorite green) ink. The flowers were done using Elegant Eggplant & Peach Parfait inks. The large flowers were stamped on a piece of white card stock, cut out, & popped up with dimensionals. On the inside we stamped "Birthday Wishes" from the set "Sincere Salutations" on white card stock using Pear Pizzazz & punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. The sentiment could easily be changed for different occasions, too.

I normally wouldn't pair these colors together but I decided to step out & try something new ;) Why not challenge yourself to try new color combos that you normally wouldn't this week? I promise you'll surprise yourself with the results! I'd love to hear what new "favorite" combos you come up with so leave a comment telling me what you've come up with. :) Enjoy your Monday!
