Hi, have I mentioned how much I love the Birthday Blooms stamp set? Only a few times, right? I love how many different types of cards you can create, or you can create very similar cards but use different colourways, and they all look so fantastic. I really feel stamp sets like these offer such great value for money.
I had been wanting to experiment with the combination of the new colour Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo to colour the floral image. I thought the combination might create a really pretty pinky red. I used my Aqua Painters to apply the colour to Shimmery White Cardstock. I also used Basic Black and Granny Apple Green to finish off the design. Once finished, I trimmed it out and put it aside.
I decided to keep the card itself very simple with the floral image the main star of the piece. I thought a nice white background would be the perfect stage for it but it needed a little texture. As I was flicking through my embossing folders I couldn’t decide between the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder and the Hexagons Dynamics Textured Embossing Folder so I decided to use both and create two cards.
For the first card, I used a landscape design and featured the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.
Here’s the card…
For the second card, I used a portrait design with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

I love the combination of the Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo and hope to experiment further with it in the future. I also love the elegance of the cards and I think it would look lovely in any other colour combination too. One idea could be to create a white flower on the white background. Another idea could be to emboss the flower in gold and use a corresponding sentiment also embossed in gold. I think that would be really lovely as well. And now you can tell why I spend so much time working with the Birthday Blooms set. There are just so many different ways you can use this set.
