Extreme Birthday
Hello
Yesterday I said I would be showing you a card that is neither pink or floral and for those who know my usual style, quite outside my comfort zone!
I needed a birthday card for a pre-teen boy so I took the opportunity to use the 'Extreme Elements' stamp set with the tutelage of friend and fellow stamper Christine. IMarina Mist, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso are the focus colours on a Confetti White background. I made up an A5 panel which gives plenty of room to work with and you can choose how to divide up the panel when the design is complete. Here is the card I made with one of the panels. Despite the variously shocked looks (I was told appeared) on my face when advised to continue to stamp, over stamp and spritz past my comfort zone, I'm pretty happy with the end result! Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do justice to the richness of the colours IRL.

Well done Judy, as one who witnessed the agonised looks, I am pleased you pushed through your comfort zone, the card looks fab.
Oooooh I’m in love with this Judy – it’s fabulous – so perfectly balanced and eye catching!
Congratulations, on stretching yourself WAY outside your comfort zone, my friend! The end result is GREAT; love your card, and I’m sure the recipient will too!
This is a fantastic card Judy! Isn’t it nice to try something new & have such great results? 🙂
Love it, Judy! A brilliant card.
Wow Judy! You’ve done a great job on this card! You should go out of your comfort zone more often.
Just love this card Judy, you have been very true to the stamp set and the result is fabulous.
Hallo Judy,
your card is so extraordinary!!!! Love it!!!!
I’m a little bit jealous – that this stamp set is not available in Germany!
