Thanks for hopping with the Color Fusers today where I am sharing all things arches with the Arched Wishes stamp set and the Everyday Arches dies. These two products coordinate beautifully together, and offer a unique element of curves to your project.

Today’s color challenge is bright and cheery. It spoke birthday to me – so I grabbed a set I had not yet inked up, and created this fun project.

The Arched Wishes stamp set is simple yet fun. I love the bold line art, allowing the option to creatively color the images. I used Stampin’ Blends, and a little ink blending; however, you could color these images however you choose.

A staple in my craft room, the Everyday Arches dies have been getting a workout. It was easy to reach for them this month and make a cute birthday card. I love how the sentiments pair with the curve of the arch, to create a unique element on any project. And the die set includes so many different sizes.

I decided to keep this card really simple by using minimal coloring. The cupcake wrapper is colored with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends Markers and Wink of Stella. The cupcake frosting has Wink of Stella accents that sadly don’t show up in the photo. I blended some Pretty in Pink ink in the background to help the cupcake image pop. The simplicity was elevated by adding Basic Rhinestones.
