Ombre Birthday – Tina Newberry Designs

I love how the yellow really pops on this card! I was inspired by a demo Anne Marie Hile did of the Artistry Blossoms Designer Series paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog coming out in June. Again, honestly I was not interested in this paper until I saw a card like this with it. This simple birthday card with subtle details, makes a statement! I mimicked the new DSP by using a brayer to create an ombre effect on whisper white cardstock with the Balmy Blue stamp pad. I then also created a fading ombre effect with the Daffodil Delight stamp pad to use as a layer behind the sentiment. The Breathtaking Bouquet Background added just enough interest to the background layer.
