The project I have to share today is a quick birthday card starring the Artistically Inked stamps and Designer Series Paper.  You cannot go wrong with these two products.

Paper

The paper, or rather the Designer Series Paper, is the star of this card.  Expressions In Ink DSP has been very popular since it debuted in June. The sheets I chose for this project have not been used quite as much as the ones with the gold veining.  I wanted a softer look for this card and these two pieces of paper deliver there.  Of course the base card of Pale Papaya with a layer of Pear Pizzaz, came directly from this beautiful DSP.

I also added a strip from a second sheet of the DSP and made the green, veined banner.  Never throw away scraps of DSP!  And I could not stop there so I  added the smaller gold striped piece.  I love how all of these sheets coordinate beautifully.

Stamp Sets

To follow up on the Expressions paper, I used the matching Artistically Inked stamp set for the sweet flower in the focal layer. The same colors were used to stamp the flower and leaves as the card base and layer.  I searched for a small and pretty font for the Happy Birthday.  It was found in the Timeless Tulip stamp set.  This sentiment fits perfectly in the Layering Circles flower.

For a finishing touch, I added some of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.  There are three of them scattered around the sentiment and the smaller DSP pieces.  I do love having some bling on my cards.
