And so here is my birthday card for Flourishes! I created my card with a recent trend I have seen in mind.... the tangerine orange and gray color combo! Is it just me, or is this kinda' trendy lately? I saw wedding pictures on Facebook a few weeks ago where the bridesmaids all wore dark orange and gray dresses, and I just LOVED the look! Then at Target on Monday I saw baby equipment like this in the same tones of gray and orange. (It looks more red on the website, but in the store it was orange!) Well, I've never been one to turn up my nose at orange... it's my favorite color, so I thought I'd give this a try!
My card uses the new Sweet Days of Summer stamp set, and a sentiment from the matching Kid's Play stamp set. The harlequin-style designer paper is from Crate Paper, and my cardstock colors are Stampin' Up! Calypso Coral and the retired Groovy Guava, and the gray is Core'dinations.
A few of the other Flourishes designers have birthday cards to inspire you today as well, so be sure to visit their blogs...
I hope you'll join us in celebrating, and wishing Flourishes a very happy birthday and MANY MORE!
Happy stamping!
