Stamparatus Tutorial for fun Birthday cards

Hello, I hope you are well.

Today’s blog post ticks off two boxes on my list today, I’ve created a birthday card for the #inspirecreatechallenges current theme challenge and made a second one using the colours for the current #creativecolourchallenges.

The 107th challenge over at Inspire.Create.Challenges is a Birthday theme. Please CLICK HERE to take a look at what the design team have created to inspire us all.

Here’s my entry…

I picked 3 random colours, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry and Merry Merlot and used the awesome Biggest Wish stamp set to create this card. I then realised that I could use the 3 colours in the latest Creative Colour Challenge…

Please CLICK HERE to check out this challenge and to see what Vickie created with these 3 colours

You can watch my YouTube tutorial to see me using these 3 colours by clicking on the image below…

Here’s the card I made in the video with the Creative Colour Challenges colours…

I think I prefer this unusual colour combination to my original selection! Which do you prefer?

My card base is Basic White Thick card measuring 29 x 10.5 cm, scored and folded at 14.5 cm to create a tent fold. My stamped layer measures 10 x 14 cm.
