This is the 3rd card in my “Womanly” Birthday card class. LOVE it!! (I was inspired by a VERY similar card shared by Allison Davini in a demonstrator FB page — I changed the base of the card to match my colored flowers and I added a knot to my ribbon.)The flower DSP on the left is from the Playful Palette DSP. What?! You don’t see that color in the package?! Oh, that’s right! I COLORED the paper! I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the floral DSP : Night of Navy light; Daffodil Delight light and Pumpkin Pie light (the peach flower was first colored with the yellow, then the Pumpkin Pie was colored over); Rich Razzleberry light; and Cherry Cobbler light. The leaves were colored with the Old Olive light marker.
The DSP was layered onto Whisper White cardstock (c/s), then layered onto a Pacific Point mat (I think the measurement was 3 7/8″ x 1 1/2″ for the DSP with a measurement of 4″ x 5 1/4″ mat of Pacific Point). I layered onto a Peekaboo Peach card base (but you can choose whatever color your coloring brings out!).
The Happy Birthday thinlet was used to cut out the sentiment. I used adhesive sheets under the Fresh Fig c/s scrap — it makes adhering the sentiment to the paper super-easy! The rich Fresh Fig ribbon was tied in a knot to complete the card!!
What do you think?! You can color with other colors and use other ribbon to completely change the look of the card. *Turn the DSP over after you’ve finished coloring it! The result is a very cool pattern because the marker bled through to the back pattern — the pattern of the DSP on the back is so perfect for this “technique”!
