Happy Birthday Cupcake! Fun with Pink Persimmon Stamps!

HELLLOOOOOO! Monday already? Yup! Well…nothing we can do about it I guess. Today I'm posting a card using some SUPER cute stamps from Pink Persimmon!  I fell in love with their stamps last year and the wonderful Darcy was nice enough to recently mail me some new stamps to play with. (Thank you Darcy!) I adore their vintage images, and the stamp quality is superb. They stamp perfectly right from the package. I hope you will take a minute to hop over to the Pink Persimmon shop and check out the images. You will want some for sure! Today's card is a sweet cupckae birthday greeting done in vintage shades of pink and aqua. I don't normally say this…but I love how this card came out! Hope you likey!

Here is a close up of the coloring of the banner and the cupcake. My Copic shades are shown below. I went sparingly with the markes and then "diluted" my coloring by going over it with my blender pen. I think it looks sort of soft and watercolor-ish.

The first thing I did was to make my own background paper using the banner set and some cream cardstock. MMMMMMM. YUMMY! I used Versamagic inks for a soft matte finish. Kept the color palette simple.

Here are the Copics I used for the cupcake and banner:

These are the four stamp sets I used for my card. You can see how they all coordinate perfectly and are about the same scale and style. The combinations are endless. The banner set is a personal favorite!

    Oooh, how pretty and fun, Wanda! You did a fabulous job using multiple sets of stamps there. They are really cute, you are right. I’m in love with your banner background. And why, oh why, can’t I color like you??? What a difference your coloring makes to a project. I would have had a plain white sentiment. 😉
    And you’ve got me stalking the mailman now, my friend. SOOOOOOOOO excited!! can’t wait!
