I had so much fun using the Concord & 9th Birthday Basics Turnabout stamp set that I didn’t know when to stop. I started with a blue one:
I used all Gina K Designs inks and cardstock for all my cards. For the blue one, I used Blue Denim, Sea Glass, Wild Dandelion and Key Lime. The card base is Blue Denim, as is the balloon. I stamped the Hooray from the set with Versamark and heat embossed with GKD White fine detail embossing powder. I then added a piece of blue wool for the string.
Next came the red one:
I used Red Hot, Dusty Rose, Peach Bellini and Innovent Pink for the stamping. The cardbase is Red Hot and the balloons are Red Hot and Dusty Rose. I stamped a greeting from Catherine Pooler on the third balloon and added the ‘birthday’ from the turnabout set. The bows are in white layering white cardstock and the die is from the set too.
I then chose purple:
Stamped the background using Plum Punch, Wild Lilac, Lovely Lavender and Slate. Cut the cupcake (using a die from my stash) with Plum Punch, Slate and Lovely Lavender. Die cut the ‘happy’ from the set using Plum Punch mounted on three cuts of Kraft cardstock. Mounted the word on a strip of Vellum. I then stamped the birthday from the set with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Next came orange:
For this one I used Sandy Beach, Kraft, Sweet Mango and Warm Cocoa. The cardbase is Sweet Mango. I die cut the ‘happy’ from Dark Chocolate cardstock as well as the ‘day’ in the banner and the bows holding the banner. The banner is cut from Sweet Mango. I used the stitched rectangles from Gina’s Thermoweb range cut in Sweet Mango and Kraft. It is all mounted on a Sweet Mango base.
Okay, so last, but certainly not least came the green:
Possibly my favourite – love green – I used Key Lime, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green and Fresh Asparagus. The card base is Fresh Asparagus as is the balloon. I stamped the Hooray with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The ‘it’s your birthday’ is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with green embossing powder. Finished off with some green jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.
I forgot t mention that all the jewels on the cards are from Pretty Pink Posh. Thank you for stopping by! Hugs!!
I coloured the image with Prismacolor White pencil and Gamsol. I then mounted it on Gina K Designs white layering weight cardstock and added some pearls from my stash. I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle on my flowers. I stamped the flowers on the inside using Gina K Designs Coral Reef ink.
