You can find inspiration anywhere for paper crafting.
One of my favorite places to turn to for inspiration is Pinterest. It’s jam packed with all things inspiration and not just cards.
You can find nature images and paintings and the such and you can also find a ton of color inspiration.
I’ve actually created a board just for color inspiration and that’s how today’s card came about. Check it out. You’ll even find the inspiration for today’s card that I pinned a couple of days ago!
My card starts off Gray Granite cardstock which I covered with a Gray Granite pattern from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper.
I next took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using the Stamparatus (which is key to getting the perfect alignment of stamped birthdays) I stamped the birthday from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set in So Saffron, Gray Granite, Pear Pizzazz, and Shaded Spruce ink.
I then matted this on a panel of Basic White and adhered it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I stamped the “happy” in Shaded Spruce ink and fussy cut it out, adhering it down with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I next stamped the balloons from the Hippo Happiness Stamp Set in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Shaded Spruce ink and cut it out with the Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the strings in Gray Granite ink and fussy cut them out.
Thanks for checking out my card today.
Isn’t this a beautiful combination of colors. You probably think masculine card when you see it (as I’ve used it today). But I’ve created the same layout, same colors, just a pretty, girly card with flowers and bling.
I’m sharing it this week in my Tips & Updates email. If you don’t already receive it, you can head over here. You’ll get to see the feminine version of today’s card tomorrow!! Don’t miss out!
Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
