So I fiddled around with the colors, direct to paper, and cut both a colored flourish and a white card base. The birthday card was finished last night.
Being the cheapskate that I am, this morning while trying (trying!) to tidy up, I just couldn't toss the scrap. I did Irene's process again, and produced the little note card.
Thanks, Irene!

I never would have thought to blend the colors as you did. Both cards are so pretty!

Not cheapskate but frugal! We are to be wise with our resources as in ALL of them including stamping supplies. : ) You did a great job with both cards, but I like the front one best. I tried, but can't see Irene's card, it just doesn't come up. Oh, well.....
