BIRTHDAY BALLOONS

After I had made this card I realized that one of the design team members had used the same stamp as mine. I received this one as a gift from SSS and had not yet inked it. Without really going through the design team examples until after I had done mine, I found it interesting to see how we each use the same stamp and yet made a completely different card.

I chose to use an older EB Folder from Sizzix and a scrap piece of old gold CS to which I also sponged some Vintage Photo ink so it darkened a bit. I stamped, coloured and die cut the balloons adding 2 other die cuts behind for stability and dimension and then added it to the panel. Using all the sentiments in the set, I stamped each one several times and hand cut them, not worrying if they were completely straight. I fooled around with placement before gluing them as you see. I found them a bit too stark so I went around each with a Sakura gold glitter pen and was satisfied with the result.

All in all, I’m happy with the card and appreciate your stopping by to spend time with me today.

  9. Yup – it was me. I used the same stamp, and I got mine from the same place you did. Nice gift, and so handy to have on hand, right? I love what you have done with it, your background is fabulous, it really makes the focal pop. Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, hope we see you back again soon.
