Just Believe Birthday Card

Simply Said With Karen Posted on by

How do you decide which colours to use? Today, I used the Stampin’ Up!’s Color Coach for inspiration.
I knew I wanted to used Wisteria Wonder and the Color Coach suggested Cherry Cobbler and Pink Pirouette for the other 2 colours.  To me it’s an usual color combination and it worked for me.
Besides I wanted to use up some of my DSP that I have been hoarding for a year….when do I learn?  
 
How many of us do this with so many things.  We put them away to use for company or for some special occasion.
If you got it, use it.  What are you saving it for? Use it or lose it…and there are many more.

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria Wonder, Peach Parfait, Pink Pirouette

I used some more of the Flirtatious DSP by creating a matching envelope using the Simply Scored Diagonal Tool.

After the image was embossed the Whisper White card stock was sponged with various colours to create a focal art piece.   – Emboss Resist technique.  After sponging the colours , the embossed image was wiped off with a soft cloth.

  8. Really pretty card. I am definitely guilty of hoarding. It’s nice when I find something I have forgotten about though.

  9. You are so right about the putting away but it is a hard habit to break! I love the colour combination you used. That particular shade of red is used right through my house. Just gorgeous!
