Well, the weather has decided to be contrary and it can't seem to make its mind up whether we have rain or sunshine today. I guess on a happy note, at least it didn't snow, so I am thankful for that. But that pretty much sums up Spring weather here in Colorado and it isn't even Spring technically.
So today's card share I decided to celebrate my favorite color blue with a card that has a more modern and perhaps masculine twist to it.
I have recently started to experiment with Stampin' Up's Bold Bright color family, and now I am really wondering why I had been shying away from it. I am really liking the vibrant colors, especially when used with Whisper White as I did with today's card.
With such bold, vivid colors, I decided to choose a stamp set with a modern, geometric flavor and reached for Circle Circus from Stampin' Up. I just love the variety of circles available in this stamp set.
Using Tempting Turquoise and Brilliant Blue classic inks, I stamped a pattern on my Whisper White card base using a variety of circles with different patterns and sizes. I then added a piece of Brilliant Blue cardstock that I had embossed with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder with my Big Shot to the lower half of my card base.
Next I punched both sides of a strip of Tempting Turquoise cardstock using the Scallop Edge punch.
Taking a piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon, I tied a knot in the center of the ribbon and then attached it to the center of the Tempting Turquoise cardstock. I then attached the strip to the card base,covering the edge where the Brilliant Blue cardstock met with the Whisper White cardstock.
Finally, I chose the Happy Birthday stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and using Tempting Turquoise classic ink , stamped it on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I then punched it out with the Word Window punch and accented it with two silver brads. Using dimensionals, I applied the sentiment to the card front.
The finished card has a crisp, clean look and by changing the colors used, you can create a wonderful Thank You card set as a gift for someone special.
Hope you enjoyed this card share.
Until Next Time.
