JAI #229 : STAMPIN' UP! BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is to make a card, or other papercraft creation, using this fun inspiration pic as a jumping-off point:




It's the last challenge of the month so this week is our "Guest Designer"challenge.  If you are interested, all you need do is play along with the challenge this week!

 (The details: For the last challenge of each month, we will be offering the "TOP PICK" for that week, the opportunity to join us as a Guest Designer for the last challenge the following month.  If this sounds like something you would like to do, get creating and come join us at Just Add Ink.)



I used the colours layered in the jar, and liked the touch off silver - here's what I came up with, using Stampin' Up!'s awesome Birthday Surprise stamp set:



Stamps: Birthday Surprise
Card: Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper (retired shade)
DSP: Perfect Plum, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Patterns Designer Series Papers
Ink: Basic Black craft stampin' pad (retired), Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie markers
Other: Clear stampin' emboss powder, Itty Bitty Accents punch, Banner punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Starburst framelits, enamel dots (not SU!)
