Case it Wednesday: Camouflage Playful Backgrounds Card

It's always nice to find a new Masculine Happy Birthday card idea so you can image how happy I was when I found this camouflage border idea using the Stampin' Up! stamp set Playful Backgrounds.  I cased the idea from The Creativity Cave by Dena Rekow  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clg2iG4q20A&t=445s

First I cut a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 5 1/2" x 2". Then I sponged Crumb Cake ink, stamped the swirls from Playful Backgrounds in various colors... first Old Olive, then Always Artichoke and then Soft Suede.

 

Oh So Eclectic Bundle - Tranquil Tide

Today I am showcasing the fabulous Oh So Eclectic bundle.  I love the versatility with the different flower shapes and leaves.  I used different colors to create this design...  Tranquil Tide, Wild Wasabi, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. The leaves are stamped in Tranquil Tide... I stamped off to get the lighter shadow color.

Playful Backgrounds - Butterfly & Bubbles

It's been a while since I used the Playful Backgrounds stamp set.  I love the way the bubbles create an amazing background for this delicate butterfly.  The Bold Butterfly in Pool Party is well complimented against the Soft Suede bubble background.

 

Dauber Happy Birthday Card

Daubers are a great way to create amazing backgrounds and mix and match color combos.  For this card, I used Pool Party, Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi to create the background. The Happy Birthday Thinlits greeting is the perfect addition to this card.

Card Sketch Challenge #1: Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack

One of my favorite ways to inspire new creativity is to start with a great card sketch.  Today’s Rose Garden Thinking of You card and sketch share a very simple way to do a beautiful card with plenty of WOW! using the new Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack in Berry Burst.  

I cut out the rose using the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies in three different cardstock in-colors to create this rose.... Fresh Fig, Berry Burst and Powder Pink.
