This is a truly quick and easy card using Stampin’ Up!’s Love & Joy stamp from the Holiday Catalog. My challenge was to design a card using Whisper White, Gumball Green, Coastal Cabana and Real Red. This is honestly a very odd combination! I tried to use the Coastal Cabana in the subtlest way possible. My solution: Stampin’ Up! has a great stamp set called Background Builders. You get 3 stamps that are about 1″ x 6″ or so and you can stamp them just once or several times to create a fun and fabulous background. Take a look!
That Coastal Cabana just blends in as if it belongs there! I actually think that if I used 2 different colors with the Coastal Cabana this card could easily pass for a great wedding card or even a Valentine’s Day or anniversary card. Can you picture just inking up the Love part of the sentiment and using it on a card of gift tag?
