Today’s birthday card was inspired by the handsome color combination of Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Basic Black and Very Vanilla. You can find this Inspired by Color palette and more at my Stampin’ Pretty Inspired by Color Pinterest Board. New color combinations are posted regularly!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Polka Dot Magic! The NEW Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) offers modern , textured patterns. This DSP landed on the list of My Favorite Things from the Occasions Catalog.
- Perfect Pairing. The Vintage Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set images have similar lines to the dots in the Urban Underground Designer Series Paper.
- The sentiment is from Balloon Adventures Photopolymer Stamp Set. I love the trendy mix of the two fonts!
- Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine was the finishing touch. The twine was pulled apart to give a rustic finish to the bow.
- Hover and Pin it! The photo below shows key products for today’s birthday card that you can save or pin to Pinterest.

Nice card, I love the paper you used with it.
The Pinterest site is full of great color combinations.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Broken record, but I love your “inspired by color” ideas. I see this as a possible masculine card, one of the most difficult for me to create.
I ADORE this masculine style card. You put this one over the top with that AMAZING ‘Urban Underground’ DSP.
I love your comments . . . thanks, all!
WOW!! Mary, the first word that came to my mind when I saw the picture of this card was MASCULINE, totally masculine and super elegant and gorgeous.
Your “Inspired by Color” picture is beautiful and the colors perfectly appropriate for a masculine card.
Off to pinning on my board!!!
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
