Colorful Birthday

 Hi there, stamping, friends, I have to tell you that today's card features some of the new colors from Concord and 9th and I am SMITTEN with them! I was so ready for these fresh new hues, and I especially like how there are light and darks of the same shades that work well for ink blending. My favs are the series of pretty pinks and oranges, soft blues and greens that pop. 

That brings us to today's card. 


Keeping my design simple, I die cut octagons, and stamped the grid image with versamark  for added interest.  The colors of card stock are sprout, parsley, sea glass, and oceanside. 
Using white card stock, I cut the flowers from the Duet Die (Penny Black) three times and glued them together. 

I am happy to be in time to enter this at Freshly Made, using the delightful sketch by Karren, although I used the mirror image.

I appreciate your visit, and hope you are doing well today!  I will be back soon. It's a busy week, but I have lots of new stuff inspiring me to get crafty! 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

I love these fresh colors, too! You were very creative with the sketch, Cindy. The flower die is pretty and I know the layers give it a lot of substance. Enjoy crafting when you get a chance!

Beautiful card, Cindy! I love these new C+9 colours as well, but trying to resist. Seeing them here is not helping my willpower :). Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
