There are a couple Stampin’ Up! colors that are considered by many to be the…well, the least appealing of the lot: Always Artichoke and Cajun Craze. They’re both great colors, and are must haves for Autumn projects, but maybe they aren’t the first ones you turn to this time of year. I decided to use a pretty stamp set – Happy Birthday Gorgeous – with these colors, just to see what I could do. I also tried something different with the layers, by lining them up at one corner instead of centering them. It’s an especially quick and easy card. Let me know what you think.
