Happy Tuesday, and welcome to Create in Color Challenge #36! This week features some gorgeous fall colors, and I used them with the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to make a couple of masculine birthday cards!
I love the grunge look in this stamp set – with the splatters around the leaves! The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. Check out the video tutorial below:
Here’s the color combo for this week! If you’d like to participate in this week’s challenge, make a project using some (or all!) of the colors listed above (or similar hue if you don’t have the exact color), and share it in my Facebook Group with #CreateinColorChallenge. I’m so excited to see what you create!
Above is a look at the inside of the card, too – with muted colors! I didn’t reink the stamps for the inside, but “huffed” on them to get the ink reactivated. So, the colors on the inside are stamped off two to three times.
