I Love Yellow

A friend's birthday is this week, and I wanted to make a card to go with the gift I purchased. Yellow is one of my favorite colors so I decided to put a lot of yellow onto a white background. I've had the stamp set, Mixed Bunch for a good while, and it always makes me happy when I use it. There is a large punch that works perfectly with the set, but instead of punching a yellow flower I decided to punch two white ones, layered, and then embellish them with yellow. Here's the supply list:

Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch, Madison Avenue, and Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Whisper White and Daffodil Delight
Button: Daffodil Delight
Dimensionals to pop up the two-layered white flower
Inks: Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz
Punches: Large Flower and 1 1/8" Circle

Madison Avenue

I tend to make cards using DSP, so I decided to try to make a few using only stamps and cardstock. So along with my quest to use supplies I've had but ignored, I also wanted to try to make a few C & S (clean and simple) cards. Here is one I came up with.

Card Front

On the front of the card I used two stamp sets: Madison Avenue--for the flowers--and Outlined Occasions for the greeting. I stamped the images using Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral inks on Whisper White cardstock and popped up the image using dimensionals. I added brads to the center of the flowers. These are Stampin' Up brads in Calypso Coral that I found tucked away in a safe place. I can't even remember when I acquired them but they sure worked well on these flowers.

Inside of card

For the inside of the card I used Calypso Coral cardstock and and stamped the image on Whisper White. I added printed brads in Calypso Coral to finish off the flowers. Overall I'm happy with the result.
