A pretty, floral birthday card made using the Color & Contour stamp set and the the Phrases for All stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Color & Contour Floral Birthday card

Today I am sharing a pretty, floral birthday card made using the Color & Contour stamp set and some bright colours.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the floral birthday card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pebbled Path card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 3½” by 1¼”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside – rounded upper right corner

 

The sentiment from the Phrases For All stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card using Pebbled Path ink.

I placed the sentiment strip onto the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and lightly due a line in pencil on both sides. The sentiment panel was then set on one side. This gives a guideline for stamping my images.

The outline of the large spray of flowers was stamped in Pebbled Path ink, taking care to keep the bottom of the image inside the pencil lines. I stamped it again using the same ink. I then stamped the outline flower head a couple of times using the same ink.

The infill images for the flowers were stamped in Sweet Sorbet or Daffodil Delight ink. Outline leaves were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. The pencil lines were then erased.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Pebbled Path panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the Sweet Sorbet card base.
