STAMPIN' UP! MODERN GARDEN BIRTHDAY CARD IN CALYPSO CORAL

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop features Calypso Coral, a pinky-orange that I don't gravitate towards often, but love the brightness of!  I couldn't resist showcasing some of the gorgeous soon-to-be-released Garden Walk Designer Series Papers, that feature Calypso Coral.  The papers, and the co-ordinating Modern Garden stamp set I have used, will be available to purchase from 6th September.  

I have used three different patterned papers from the Garden Walk DSP pack.  On Basic White card, I stamped three flowers in Calypso Coral ink - first stamping the solid flower image "stamped off", then over-stamping the inner detail full strength.  I stamped leaves in Garden Green ink, stamped off because I thought full strength looked too dark.  After fussy-cutting the flowers and leaves together, I glued two of them down, and adhered the middle flower on Stampin' Dimensionals, to sit over the Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim (also available 6th September).

The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral ink, after I'd stamped a few tiny flowers and leaves (stamped off to give a more subtle impression) around it.  I used the Double Oval Punch to punch out the sentiment, and the mat behind it.  The scalloped oval was punched from a piece of Garden Green paper from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP pack.  I inked the edges of this outer oval with Garden Green ink.

Here's a closer look at the paper that I think is my favourite design in the Garden Walk DSP pack.  Isn't it pretty?  I added some Calypso Coral Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to a few flower centres on the paper, leaving my stamped flowers with white centres to pop a bit more.
