Welcome to a new Seize the Birthday challenge! Our newest (always optional) topping is DICHROMATIC. Or, in other words, make a two-colour card. We have one other stipulation if you choose to go with the theme - no metallics. Neutrals are allowed. I looked through a few stamp sets, and found one that lent itself to two colours:
As you can see, I was also influenced by the stamp packaging and used the same two colours, pink and green. The floral branch is stamped and clear embossed on watercolour cardstock. I used two shades of pink for the flowers and one green for the stem and leaves. I really like the font of the sentiments in this set too, but there's no birthday one, so I used one from another set instead. I also added a few watercolour splatters and a trio of black Nuvo drops.
Beautiful cards in an assortment of colour pairings from my StB teammates and our current surprise party guest, Vicky! I hope you will be inspired to join us.
Supplies: Hero Arts green layering cardstock, Canson watercolour paper, Taylored Expressions Bursting Blooms & Clearly Besotted Say What stamps, Versafine onyx black ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Zig markers, Winnie & Walter Katharine Cutaways pierced rectangle die, black Nuvo Drops

Anyplace that I can get inspiration, I go for it. I think that you card is amazing and quite sweet.
This is lovely!!! I'm definitely splatter jealous. Mine never look nearly this professional.

This is a beautiful card, and makes me think that spring must be right around the corner. And, thanks for teaching me a new word today!
Lindsey, I love this spring looking flowering branch and your colors are awesome!
What a charming little beauty! I love the look of the delicate pinks and your card looks so lovely.
Believe it or not, I really like pink & green together - great choice. You've done such a great job making this card feel so elegant. Love it.
