Color Layering Happy Birthday

Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here! Today I am sharing a card I created with the new Color Layering Happy Birthday clear stamp set.

To begin, I inked Sun Ray Bold Prints with Grape Juice and Bubble Gum and stamped it onto a 4" x 5.25" Dove White cardstock panel. I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2 card base.

Next, I stamped "happy" onto Lavender cardstock with Passion Flower ink. I then layered and stamped the coordinating "happy" in Grape Juice.

To continue, I stamped "birthday" beneath "happy" with Bubble Gum ink. I then layered and stamped the coordinating "birthday" with Rose Madder ink.

I die-cut a circle around the stamped image with a Circle Nesting Infinity Die. I die-cut an additional circle one size larger in Amethyst cardstock to mat the stamped image and adhered it to the card base.

Next, I die-cut Looking Glass Girl with Balloon in Peony cardstock. I trimmed off excess, heat embossed the balloon in gold and adhered to the card.

To complete the card, I added Purple Enamel Dots.

My card came together quickly and was fun to create. I hope you are inspired to give it a try.

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your week!
