Today’s card is a humorous birthday card. As soon as I saw the Bunches of Fun stamp set in the annual catalog, I knew it had to come to my house. I have a sarcastic sense of humor, and this fit perfectly!
Stamp Set
The Bunches of Fun stamp set has the cutest images. I think the Stampin’ Up! artists are the best. These images especially spoke to me because I love bananas, but only when they are on the greener side. If they have one brown spot I am hesitant to even try them. So of course, I had to add the banana sentiment!!
The inside sentiment is just as good. Here is the view on the inside.
LOL!!! To me this is the other side of the coin. Too young for brown spots but old enough not to need the cone of shame. A perfect match for someone in that mid-range age wise. Like I said, this stamp set is awesome with the sentiments for those of us not quite on the formal thought wave.
Colors
Since this was intended as a humorous and fun card, I wanted brighter colors. I decided on the Soft Suede as the base card to show off the brown spots on the bananas. And yes I know that is not a bright color. However it pairs wonderfully with the Granny Apple Green. This bright green is a favorite of mine. I used it quite often when it debuted and have tried to let it rest a bit in the last few months.
The lady’s dress is done with the Granny Apple Green Light Stampin’ Blends. The ribbon is a retired one that is Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green. Sadly, I thought it was the one which carried over that is Old Olive and Pretty Peacock. That’s what I get for thinking. But, It works wonderfully with my colors so I am fine with that. I also added a few of the Blue Adhesive Gems to give the card a bit of dazzle.
