Today I am going to show you how to create a beautiful Color & Contour birthday card idea that is perfect for your special friends. This 'over the top creation' will take a bit longer to make but is well worth the effort.
One of the perks of joining Stampin' Up! is the opportunity to earn free products and the Color & Contour bundle was one of my new catalog free choices. I have to confess that at first the stamp set wasn't thrilling me but I loved the dies so I thought, well it's free so why not? But now that I have been crafting with the set it I love it as much as the dies.
Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Color & Contour bundle (158356); Art Gallery (154421)
