Darling Donkeys Birthday

Patricia

5 years ago

I’m about to brighten up your maybe dreary Monday morning with a big pop of color! Magenta Madness to be exact! This is one of five In-Colors for 2020-2022 and it can be a bit of an eye opener if you haven’t had your morning pick-me-up yet.

But who wouldn’t want this cute little donkey (bringing a flower no less) to brighten up a birthday? And it would be so easy to switch it out for other occasions too….Valentine’s Day for instance which is coming up soon! Just change the sentiment for your occasion!

This donkey is from the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set that is part of the SALE-a-bration event that is going on now and will continue until February 28th. You can choose this stamp set as your FREE item when you purchase $50.00 worth of products.

I colored the donkey with my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers and yes, there is even a Magenta Madness one for coloring the flower! There are lots of layers on this card, but the cutting goes pretty quick and then it’s just adding the layers. The top two layers (the smaller rectangles and the Donkey die cuts are adhered using dimensionals for the visual effect so it didn’t appear so “flat”and would pop a little bit more. The Designer Series Paper is from the 6” x 6” In-Color Designer Series Paper. Lots of fun colors and 4 different patterns to choose from.

If you would like to make this card, these are the supplies you will need:
