Stampin' Up! Birthday Card with Cheerful Daisies Bundle

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Pecan Pie.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations. 
This week, I have chosen pecan pie, pumpkin pie and pretty peacock from the colour coach to work with. 


I tried to use DSP like I have on the other 3 cards this month with the DSP sale still on for a few more days but it just wasn't coming together for me. So here is your reminder, there is 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month and it ends on Friday June 30th.

Onto today's card, I decided to create a brick wall embossed background with daisies on it. When I went to create my card I discovered my 3D embossing folder had retired last catalogue and I need to order the new exposed brick 3D embossing folder (Opps! Guess what is on my next order!) I have used the older folder for the card today as it was the idea I had in my head and there was nothing shaking it. I die cut the daisies in pumpkin pie (and in early espresso for the tiny dots) and adhered them onto pretty peacock stems and leaves. The sentiment was stamped in pretty peacock and I layered the sentiment on three labels for some added height for something different. 


The envelope - has a large daisy with leaves tucked behind the flower


Inside card - I stamped Happy Birthday from artistically inked and added two more daisies with one of them raised up with stamping dimensionals.

Great card, Ros, even if that TIEF is retired, I didn't realise that either ;) Love the bright orange daisies and the splattering of rhinestones. Wonderful card.

[Rachel Woollard]

I love your retro looking card Ros, great colour choices

[Catherine Proctor]

Loving the bold retro vibes of your fabulous colour combination, Ros. This is a gorgeous card!

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

I love your creative use of this unusual colour combination, Ros - it works beautifully! The flowers, stems and leaves just pop from the Pecan Pie brick background. I like the idea of stacking the sentiment labels; great effect.

[Tina Gillespie]

Fab card, Ros! I love the effect of the sponging on the daisy petals, and the brick wall embossing was a great choice.

[Rachel Palmieri]

Gotta love those big, bold, bright daisies. I don't like pumpkin pie but I can't imagine these flowers in any other colour against the brick wall.

[Theresa Gerrard]

Such a great colour choice Ros, as I have said in the past you have a way of making interesting colour combos "just work" and this is another. Even though as you said the embossing folder has retired it was still a great choice.

[Andrea Sargent]

A delightful card Ros. I love your use of this colour combo with the beautiful daisies. the added shading gives dimension. Beautiful xxx

[Amie]

I love the retro look of this card, how amazing this must look IRL!

[Sharon Davern]

Don't you just love it when you have an idea in your head and you just can't shake it! The bricks look great in Pecan Pie and the daisies up against it do too! Love the Colour combo. Great card!
