I'm looking at this card and thinking how fun this would be to make a set of these in different colors and maybe for different occasions other than just birthday. Though a pack of just birthday cards would be fine too. I know I have more than 4 friends and relatives that have birthday!! LOL
I found this card on Pinterest. You can see the original one here. It was done in a green color. I didn't spend much time looking at the color to determine what green it was. I didn't want to make a green card, I wanted something in the orange family. I was going to use Pumpkin Pie but I decided to go with Calypso Coral. I liked both but when I looked at the stash of cardstock, I had more Calypso Coral than I did Pumpkin Pie.
The base of the card is a folded half sheet of Whisper White cardstock. I cut another piece of Whisper White to 5-1/2" x 2-1/4". I cut a piece of Calypso Coral 5-1/2" x 2-1/2". And that was it for paper cutting.
Next I stamped the flower using Calypso Coral ink. Then I stamped the words using black Memento ink. I set it aside and worked on the base part of the card.
I took the Calypso Coral layer piece and set it on top of the base of the card and set it where I want it to be. Then I moved it over to the left about a half an inch and drew a light pencil line from top to bottom. It doesn't have to be a straight line. Just make it light so it won't show through the back. That way you won't have to erase it. I took the dotted image from the set and stamped over the line. I did stamp on the line but mostly to the right of the line. It doesn't really matter, since the line will be hidden by the layer. I stamped the dots and then stamped again without inking. There's a nice mix of light and dark stamping, going from light to dark (left to right). And that was it. Super easy. See why it would be fun to make a pack of card using this layout? And doing them in different colors too!
