Good morning. Hope your weekend was good. On Saturday was my grandson's 12th birthday, so of course I made him a card, and at least this year I remembered to take a picture.
I really don't have a lot of stamps that focuses on kids but balloons are always good right? With some stamping, die-cutting this is what I came up with.
Once I die cut the balloons and stamped on top of them, I sponged ink in the coordinating colours on my background where the balloons would go. I then placed the balloons where I wanted them and then stamped the string. I really like the birthday stamp set as it has 4 different string sentiments. I then stamps some stars around and then popped the balloons up over the string. I double popped the middle balloon as I wanted that one center focused.
Stamped the sentiment with versamark and white embossed onto some black c/s. I then took a fish
tale banner die and cut it out, then popped this up as well. For the background orange paper and dry embossed a Memory Box die onto it called - All Star Detail Plate. You can't see much of it, but it adds some detail to it rather than have plain c/s.
To finish I added some enamel dots, an enamel heart (just love this little heart), cut a # 12 out of orange c/s and then used my wink of stella clear pen for a bit of sparkle on the star balloon.
In hind sight I should of make a couple of these cards at the same time. Always good to have a few extra of these types of cards!
I appreciate your visit today, wishing you a happy day!
(When we went to bed last night it was snowing and it is still snowing this morning! Looks like we need to do some shoveling today - it's Family Day in parts of Canada so we have today off!)
