Over the last week or so, I have been using some stamp sets and other products that I haven’t used before.
Today I used the BUFFALO CHECK BACKGROUND STAMP.
After tossing around a few ideas, I decided to use my STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS ™ to create a coloured rainbow.
I used markers, primarily, from the BRIGHTS family – POPPY PARADE, MANGO MELODY, DAFFODIL DELIGHT, GRANNY APPLE GREEN, PACIFIC POINT, GORGEOUS GRAPE and HIGHLAND HEATHER.
The hand colouring looks a little patchy but I’m really pleased with the effect.
Then I used the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES to cut the stamped rainbow buffalo check.
I used two die cut pieces of Gorgeous Grape to create a mat to adhere the rainbow to – then I popped it up with dimensionals.
The white faux linen ribbon from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO teams nicely with the LINEN THREADS.
I chose some Mango Melody ARTISTRY BLOOMS SEQUINS to finish the card with a little bling.
For the envelope, I coloured the stamp again as you can see.
This will be the card I send to my sister for her birthday this Thursday. So when I post it, with her gift, on Monday – it will be a “little-bit-late”. This is the perfect sentiment for the birthday cards I send.
I hope that Karen likes her birthday goodies.
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
