STAMPIN' UP! BIRTHDAY CARD FOR #TCH#6

 

I don't normally think to use pink and brown together on my cards, but I had so much fun creating a card the other day for this challenge, that I thought I'd make another!  I still had on my desk some of the supplies used to make this card; I feel quite virtuous having now put them to use, because that's not normally my style. 😉  So, here's my second entry into the current Color Hues challenge.

The stamp set I have used, for the sentiment (speech bubble and words) and the stars on the Soft Suede panel, is the fun new You Are Amazing set, that will be released in Stampin' Up!'s January - June 2021 Mini Catalogue. I've used my rather neglected Butterfly Beauty dies, and Ornate Borders dies (that sweet "holey" border is a favourite).

 I inked up the speech bubble in Blushing Bride ink, stamped it off onto scrap paper first, then stamped it onto Whisper White card to get a lighter impression.  The "Happy Birthday" was stamped over the top in Soft Suede ink.

I cut one of the large clusters of butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty dies, from Blushing Bride card.  I then snipped off a couple of butterflies, and have used one of them in the top right corner of my card.  Flowers For Every Season Gems have been added to each of the pink butterflies' bodies.  To balance out the design, I added a couple of tiny butterflies cut from Soft Suede card:

Here's the inside of my card:

I think I like this card more than my first pink and brown creation.  Perhaps this is a colour scheme I should be using a little more; it has been fun working with it.

Listed below are the current Stampin' Up! products I used on my card.  I can't link to the You are Amazing stamp set, until it is released on 5th January.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
