The Broadway Birthday stamp set and the Broadway Bound Specialty designer Series Paper are such fun and festive new products, but because of the way they are featured in the catalog, I think many people overlook them because they’re seeing all the “pink” in the samples as well as the party hat and ice cream cone images that make them think it’s for kids cards. Well, let me just say, there is so much you can do with these products, they definitely deserve another look.
Color Combo
I started of this card by focusing on the prints in the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Papers and was drawn to the metallic polka dots and the black & gold diagonal stripes. I layered the 2″ x 3″ polka dots on the 2-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ stripes for a fun central feature. These were attached to a 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White background along with a 1/2″ piece of Gold Foil Paper. After heat embossing “Hooray” with Gold Embossing Powder, I cut it out with the Layering Circles Framelits. Next I stamped “It’s your birthday” with Memento ink and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch.
I finished off the card with the Metallic Pearls; one in silver and one in gold. I also added a black pearl by using a Sharpie marker on a regular pearl. I like how the addition of the pearls plays on the polka dots of the DSP. So do you agree with me that the Broadway Birthday stamp set and the Broadway Bound DSP are not just for kids, or those who love pink?
