Greetings!
Today's card began with a thought for a simple birthday card with a background of the same image stamped multiple times in multiple colors. Many months ago I remember seeing someone use the tall vase from the Earthen Textures bundle sideways, and that image lodged itself in my mind. I decided to play with it for this card and I love the way it turned out. The biggest thing to remember when stamping the same image multiple times in multiple colors, is to be sure and clean your stamp in between each color 😊.
To add a little dimension, the vase with the "Happy Birthday" message on it has been stamped onto the background and also stamped and die cut so it's popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. If you look closely, there is a little grass clump die cut, sideways, behind the message, for a little something extra. Adding the strips of coordinating cardstock colors behind the stamped images helps to anchor each color.
The "Happy Birthday" from the Translucent Florals stamp set is in a small and simple font, and just the right size for this card. It has the two words stacked and I simply cut out each word so they could be placed side by side, which works much better for this card. Remember that even though a stamped message is oriented one way, the beauty of creativity is that you can cut it and switch it to suit your vision.
These 2022-2024 In Colors are only around for a little while longer so make sure to get them before they're gone. You can purchase the cardstock and the ink pads as a set, or stock up on your favorites individually. They are bright and happy colors, and as you can see, they work very well together. I didn't use the Sweet Sorbet in this card, but it rounds out this group of five 2022-2024 In Colors very nicely.
