Our forty third colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "terracotta tile" from the 2019 - 2021 in color collection.
You may have noticed we are out of alphabetical order this week compared normal. We had to bring terracotta tile forward a few weeks to fit it in before the colour officially retires. Next week, we will be back to our usual alphabetical order.
I have chosen terracotta tile, petal pink and merry merlot from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. I've also added in some coastal cabana and so saffron.
I have used the paint chip technique for the background of my card focusing on the three main colours I am using and randomly stamped them with the "confetti" stamp from Hey Birthday Chick. I have also used the outlined die cut letters technique to create a white shadow around the "happy birthday" and "chick" words. I have used the "shadow" stamp from painted poppies for the muted textured on my balloons. I stamped in onto shimmery white cardstock in terracotta tile/coastal cabana and so saffron inks and fussy cut it out.
I stamped the baby chick in memento and coloured it in with a variety of stampin' blends and stampin' write markers. I also popped it up on the card in the bottom right hand corner. I finished the card off with some basic rhinestone jewels.
Inside card - I again used more stamps from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set and also coloured the images in with a variety of stampin' blends and stampin' write markers.

That is a really fun card, Ros. I love the sentiment on the front, it's exactly what I say to my friends. Great colouring too!

Great use of colour, and stamps, Ros. I really like the outlining of the letters on the front of the card, and the effect on the balloons achieved by using what I call the "blobby" stamp!

This is adorable Ros. I love the strips of colour and the bubble behind the words.

LOL! Such fun card! The chick looks so cute on the front, and I love how you've done the shadow around the chick text.
