In the midst of stamping Easter cards yesterday, I came up with this birthday card stamped with the Petal Palette Stamp Set and colored in with the Stampin’ Blends markers. At first glance, you might not be all that impressed with the Petal Palette Stamp Set (I wasn’t!), but as usual, once I started seeing samples made with this set I was convinced I had to have it! Besides the images, which are so pretty, there are some very nice words to use in the set.
The card base is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock with a layer of Basic Black. The flowers are stamped on Whisper White in Memento Black ink and colored in with the Stampin’ Blends markers. Some of the markers are backordered right now, but I suggest ordering the single markers, even if you want the whole collection, because then you will receive all of the markers that are available now and Stampin’ Up! will ship the backordered ones when they are resupplied. Even if they are backordered, I would suggest putting them in your Shopping Bag now so you will be first in line to get them when they come in stock.
I chose a greeting from Picture Perfect Birthday and die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Then that is layered on a scalloped oval die cut from Layering Ovals from Gold Foil. For some extra pizzazz I wound up some Gold Metallic Thread adhered to the back of the greeting. This thread is only $3.00 so a great thing to have on hand or add to your order when you need a little bit more!
On the inside I put a piece of Whisper White cardstock since the Cherry Cobbler is so dark, and stamped one other flower from Petal Palette.
There you have it! An easy birthday card made with stamping Petal Palette flowers and coloring in with Stampin’ Blends markers!
