Inked & Tiled – Happy Birthday

Welcome back!  I have a lot on the go this coming week and I am working to get ahead on some of the challenge deadlines.

So, I am playing with Double Trouble (#145) partnering with Try Stampin’ On Tuesday (#620) to Mix it Up.

I selected to use the colors suggested over at Facebook Colour INKspiration (#149) and searched through my scrap bins and items on my worktable not used on prior projects for Use Your Stuff (#490).  I am also playing with Tic Tac Toe (#220) for choosing a birthday sentiment and patterned papers.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Moody Mauve cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Fresh Freesia Gingham Check patterned piece of paper from the retired Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper pack.
• Vertical Strip: (2¼” x 5”) Silver and White Striped patterned piece of paper from the retired Silver & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Using a Brayer, Moody Mauve ink was added to color the strip.
  • The Strip was torn on three edges exposing a white edge.
• Rectangle: (2¾” x 2”) Misty Moonlight Dotted patterned piece of paper from the retired 2020/2022 In-Color Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The edge was also torn.
• Circle: (1⅝”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Happy Birthday, from the Inked & Tiled stamp set was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink.
  • The sentiment was die-cut with the (1⅝”) Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
• Decoration: Basic White cardstock scraps die-cut with the Paper Florist Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  Three Blueberry Bushel 2018/2020 In-Color Dots were added to the sentiment circle and two Moody Mauve 2023/2025 In-Color Dots were added to the flowers.

Letting the moody color scheme and the patterns be the star of the show.

Thank you for spending some more of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
