For Week 38 of Colour Creations, we are playing with the beautifully soft and versatile Petal Pink, and this week’s project is a birthday card that I’ve CASED from myself!
The layout is based on a card I made three years ago using the Abigail Rose DSP paired with the Cottage Flowers Dies. It is always interesting to revisit older designs with fresh products and see how they evolve. Same bones, completely new personality. Here’s the original card from three years ago:
This year’s card was created using Very Vanilla card stock, stamped in Black Memento ink with the gorgeous Extraordinary Floral Bundle. I absolutely love how striking black ink looks on Very Vanilla. It feels classic and timeless, and it allows the detailed floral line work to really shine without the need for additional colouring.
To bring in our feature colour, I added Petal Pink Designer Series Paper from the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper. The subtle Petal Pink pattern works perfectly as a soft backdrop and appears on the side panel of the card as well as on the handmade envelope.
The envelope is made using the same Petal Pink DSP for a coordinated look, and the address label on the front was created with the Modern Oval Punch. I added a hand drawn border and used some of the leftover floral offcuts.
The sentiments on both the front and the inside of the card are from the the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set which is a last chance stamp set. The rest of the leftover floral offcuts adorn the inside of the card.
