Beautiful Day with Playful Backgrounds

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin the artful inker.   Today, I decided to be smart.  I’ve been playing catch up for birthdays.   So, I thought perhaps I should make a few birthday cards for just in case or oops, it’s the last minute.  As I’m still in a coloring mood, Beautiful Day with Playful Backgrounds was a great choice!

Beautiful Day with Playful Backgrounds

 

 

Today’s color combo is similar but different from one I used last week.

Don’t you love that you can easily shift a color or two in or out and you’re ready to create?

For my birthday card, I used Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and

Granny Apple Green.

I think that last may be a new favorite.

 

 

Currently, I’m loving Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green together.

So, I used them for my base and first layer.

Next, I created a mask for the large Beautiful Day flower.

Then, I stamped the flower in Smoky Slate onto the Whisper White focal layer

and onto an extra scrap.

 

 

With the mask in place, I stamped elements from

Playful Backgrounds in Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green.

To color in the flower, I used my Light Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends and

the Color Lifter.

For the flower center, I used my Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Write Marker.

Next, I cut a portion of the flower stamped on a the scrap piece and

adhered it with Dimensionals.

After masking the Happy Birthday sentiment from Beautiful Day,

I stamped it and then cut it in half.

Behind “birthday”, I added loops of Gold Metallic Thread.

After adding a strip of 1/8″ Pineapple Punch Ribbon, I added a

Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon bow.

And to finish, I used some Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dots.
