Happy Birthday Nakita

My beautiful niece, Nakita celebrated her 6th birthday last week. This is the card I made for her. It uses two stamp sets which I received in the mail last week: The Nicest Things and Style Beautiful. Once again, I pulled out my colour coach for the colour combination. I never would have used these two colours together without the colour coach, but I'm quite pleased with how this card turned out.

Ingredients

Stamp Sets - The Nicest Things, Style Beautiful

Cardstock - Pretty In Pink, Certainly Celery. Watercolour paper

Ink - Stazon Black

Ribbon - Pretty In Pink Taffeta ribbon

Other - Stampin' Pastels, Basic Pearl Jewels

Stamp-a-stack

The lovely ladies that came to my class today have just left. This is one of the cards we made. I took the colours from the great new colour coach (see page 117 of the Idea Book and Catalogue). I just picked the base colour, found the card in the colour coach and took out the cardstock in the colours listed. It makes picking colour combinations so much easier.
