It is time for me to post a Paper Player’s Challenge. This time the challenge is presented by Laurie Schmidt and the focuses is on where we place the sentiment on our card. The idea is to make the sentiment the focus point on the card. This leaves us wide open on the stamp set we want to use and Stampin’ Up! has plenty of stamp sets with words to choose from. However, I decided to use a simple, but beautiful partial script birthday words. Yet, this card screams it is time to celebrate your birthday. Then to finish it off I used the Peekaboo Peach Ribbon to tie with the Peekaboo Peach card stock that is the base. However, I felt it needed additional color with the Peekaboo Peach. So I added the Watermelon Wonder which ends up complimenting each other because there is a contrast with a lighter and darker color.
Tips and Tricks
Balloon Adventures Stamp Set: The beautiful balloons offers balloons with patterns to stamp in the colors of your choice. I chose to make it cheery card using Tangerine Tango, Peekaboo Peach, and Watermelon Wonder. This makes the card scream happy birthday with the reminder “It’s Your birthday.” I used the oval to direct your eye to the words.
This stamp set is available as a bundle which allows you to do so much more plus you save 10%. See my verision of this card on Facebook and then watch for my Shaker Card Tutorial coming up on my blog. https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf
