Variation on a Birthday Theme

When I saw the fun colors in the 250th colourQ Challenge, I thought it would be fun to create a variation on a theme using different accent hues.

Since my birthday card stash is sorely depleted, I inked-up my new Happy Birthday Collage Stamp from Impression Obsession, which is also perfect for the Sheet Cake Challenge (One-Layer) at A Blog Named Hero.

I initially tried to ink the stamp with several colors, which just made it muddy.  So instead, I inked with a single color and then edged the stamp using India Ink.  I'm kind of partial to the Memento Teal Zeal one, but I like the other colors too.

This one uses Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.

And the final one is Memento Morocco.

I love how easy it was to re-fill my birthday card stash with just one stamp.
