My birthday card supply has been dwindling so I thought I would make a few cards using my Upsy Daisy stamp set. It is a great set to use with the heat embossing technique.

My color inspiration was aqua and red. As with most of my finished cards, this one didn’t turn out like I first imagined it might. But, I like it. I wanted more aqua and red but it turned out that black made more sense as the main color with just red and aqua accents.
