A colorful birthday card

I made another birthday card today, inspired by this week mojo monday challenge #299

I looked through my paper stash and found this icecream patterned paper from echo park which I’ve owned for years and never used. It was time!

I wanted the card to look like summer so I went for bright and happy colors, I could have used brighter/lighter colors on the gifts but I wanted it to bring out the blue and green colors from the background since the other details were pink, orange and yellow. I colored the flower with my dylusion spray london blue and added some pearl mist to lighten up the color a bit, and to add some shine of course! I might add some stickles to the stamp, I haven’t really decided yet.

The yellow ribbon is another thing that has been lying in my stash for ages, I’m not really a fan of yellow but I’m working on it on all levels, just got myself a yellow summer dress!

A friend of mine is having a birthday party today and I had to make him a card. I wanted it so be a bit masculine, one of my biggest challenges. Somehow my attempts always end up slightly girly or at best, quite neutral.

Inspired by Mojo Monday #277, I made this:
