Eclectic Birthday

Eclectic Birthday

The stamp set Kinda Eclectic takes center stage on this card.  When I paged through the Annual Catalog many times last May I breezed passed this set each time.  I really could not see using this set – I could not find the why for it.  Then I began seeing other demonstrators use it over and over and over again.  I realized the fun part of this stamp set was it had no why it was simply a set to creative with.  And so this is the stamp set I selected to create a birthday card for a colleague who has a creative role in our organization.  She is a very creative person who sometimes has to hold back her creativity in her daily work.  She has her own eclectic style so I think this is the perfect stamp set to use to create her special birthday card.

You have seen me use purple and green together many times before.  I love the color green and purple is so vibrant with it, I just had to use the combination again.  This card was inspired by a card I saw on on Pinterest from Splitcoast Stampers.  

I chose to use Naturals White card stock rather than Whisper White to give the card more texture.  Can you see the fibers in the paper?

Eclectic Birthday insideI thought it would be best to leave the front of the card without a sentiment.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is from Endless Birthday Wishes.

Being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator is helping me stretch myself and my creativity.  I am glad the Kinda Eclectic stamp set found its way into my stamping collection.  What stamp set did you think you would not own and now own?  I would love to hear!

Happy Friday and Happy Birthday Crystal.

Stampin' hugs,

Michelle
