Make it Monday #39: Birthday Wishes

This week's Make it Monday teaches us about multi-stamp background building.  There are some great tips in the video.  I decided to use this week's ColourQ #109 colors to make my card.


I used stamps from Turning a New Leaf, Asian Fusion, and Butterfly Kisses to make my background.  I interpreted the colors as best I could with my inks:  SU Crumb Cake, Distress Fired Brick, Memento Tangelo and ColorBox Harbor.


Thanks for Visiting

    I love the stamps you chose to build your background! I love those colors! I am really tempted to try and whip up a card because I love those colors so much, and you used them brilliantly in your design!

    That is absolutely one of the prettiest stamped backgrounds I have ever seen. I am pinning this one! The colors are so striking and you used great stamps with it too. Very, very good job on this one Joyce.

    Lovely card. You did a great job with both challenges. I found those colors so hard to work with, but you did an amazing job pulling the color challenge off. Love the twine with the notched edges.
