Stampin' Up! Someone Special Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop


Welcome to the Happy Inkin' Thursday blog hop. You're in for a treat if you have never visited before. It's a weekly challenge and this week we have a color challenge. I can't wait to see what the other team members created. Hop along with us at the bottom of my post.

I used the Someone Special Stamp Set to create my card. These colors were a real challenge for me! I wish I hadn't used Blackberry Bliss for my card base so I might try the colors again doing it differently.

Have you noticed I have been making birthday cards like it's going out of style? That's because it is still Time Out's 6th Birthday!



The flowers at the top are tone-on-tone as are the ones on the sentiment. The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss. I added three tiny Basic Pearl Jewels to the card front to give it a little pop. 

For the inside, I stamped three critters so I must enter the challenge at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #36.



Are these critters oh so cute or what?!! I used some neutrals for the colors, which I hope are allowed for the color challenge. My sentiment is stamped full strength Poppy Parade. The balloon is second and third generation Poppy Parade and the  string is Old Olive. I did a rough sponge with Blackberry Bliss to break up the stark whiteness. The corners are punched with the Detailed Trio Punch. I watercolored the grass with Old Olive. I had much more fun decorating the inside, which is unusual for me!

I hope you enjoyed my card today and thank you for joining the hop. Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko Sudano. Clicking on the names below will take you directly to the other team members and their projects.
