Perennial Birthday in Blues

#1 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – Perennial Birthday in Blues

How darling is this card?

I always enjoy using the Perennial Birthday stamp set, and doing the overlaid stamp thing! It’s just very me!

I wanted to share it today with various blues and then decided at the 11th hour, that a purple needed to come out too.

So my blues are Balmy Blue, Pool Party and Coastal Cabana (which is the card blank and the sponging round the edges) and they looked charming together, but I took a punt on adding a purple and went with it.

Fortunately I went with the 2nd generation of Gorgeous Grape, stamping it off first on my grid paper. I definitely think that the full dark rich purple would have overwhelmed the card somewhat.

But it looked great, and I decided to stamp the greeting with that and punch it using my new Timeless Label punch – the shape is so lovely!

Then with a trio of frosted epoxy shapes, though not the frosted ones, and a baker’s twine bow, my card is all done.

I hope you get inspiration from it!
