I made this card for an old Color Challenge on the Create with Connie and Mary site (there is a link in my side bar if you want to see what is happening on their site – preview week for their new class just ended). The colors were Basic Black, Real Red, and Pool Party plus a neutral – I chose Whisper White.
It’s a pretty clean and simple card – I used an image from the Every Little Bit stamp set – the gumball machine is perfect in Real Red, and then i colored all the gumballs with the Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker – I’m so glad Stampin’ Up! has markers for the In-colors. The image is punched with the 1″ circle punch, then layered on two more circles in Pool Party and Real Red. I stamped the happy birthday and colored it in with the markers. I used the Real Red Marker and the piercing mat to add the dotted frame around the card front.
I hope you like it.
I’m still looking for more $55 orders to help me earn my first incentive trip. Read more here. Watch the thermometer rise on the side of my blog!
Have a great day!
