Last week I created a monochrome birthday card with the mixed bunch stamp set. My critique board suggested more colour and although I thought to start with a couple, they wanted me to go crazy. So I did. And I love the result. And so did they.

Base: rose red

Top layer: very vanilla

Stamp set: mixed bunch, Sassy Salutations

Inks: All from the regals family – rose red, elegant eggplant, perfect plum, island indigo, crushed curry and garden green

I think that this is an incredibly happy and cheerful birthday card and I’m very grateful for the CB’s suggestions. I of course used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the flowers and lined the envelope with the rose red backgrounds DSP.  Those last two items may be predictable, but they make sense. This card is a little labour intensive due to all the stamp cleaning, but it would be fast to mass produce. I think it would also make a good thank you card or a thinking of you if someone needed a pick me up. Almost as good as a bunch of mixed flowers. 🙂
