Soft Sea Foam Birthday Card
This week for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop we’re celebrating the soft and soothing Soft Sea Foam, one of those colours that pairs beautifully with just about anything, but really shines when combined with neutrals and soft florals.
For my card this week, I’ve CASED a beautiful design by the Stampin’ Up! Artisan, Tammy Wilson (Stamps Paper Scissors). I absolutely loved her layout, colour combination and layered textures, and knew it would be perfect for showcasing Soft Sea Foam.
I’ve added my own twist to her card, using current products that I own: Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ DSP, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Simply Said Stamp Set (all currently reduced and in the Last Chance section of the website) as well as the Nested Essentials Dies and the Help Me Grow dies.
The base of my card starts with a Basic White layer embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. Over this, I added torn pieces of Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper from the Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ DSP and a sweet string of bunting made with the Nested Essentials Dies.
I created a string of little flags from the Crumb Cake check pattern in the from the Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ DSP, tying them together with linen thread (I pierced holes in the bunting flags using the Take My Pick tool).
The star of the show is the Soft Sea Foam foliage and Petal Pink flowers, both die cut using the Help Me Grow Dies. For a little sparkle, I finished the flowers with Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
The sentiment is kept bold and simple to contrast the soft background. I heat embossed the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set in white onto Basic Black cardstock.
