February has started with a couple of family birthday's to celebrate which means cards to make :-) I used my Sugar and Spice 'In a word' and 'Scribble Flowers' stamp sets to make the following card:
As the card was for a my brother in law, I wanted to make something with a 'male' feel so used strong colours - greens and yellows toned with blacks and whites. I started by stamping the Happy Birthday tile from the 'In a word' set onto black chipboard using white ink. I then inked up the edges of the stamp with yellow and green ink and overstamped onto the white image.
I cut out two strips of yellow cardstock and stamped the small happy birthday wording over them to make my borders.
I finished by stamping several images of the largest flower from the 'Scribble flowers' set using black ink. I cut around the petals to make a funky border which I used underneath my green patterned paper as a subtle accent.
Thanks for looking,
Big smiles,
Nic.
