To begin my card today I first stamped out the heart balloon from Bold Balloons using two colours of pink and a yellow onto a separate piece of paper. I used three shades of each colour and layered them up accordingly. I started off with the outside line layer first and worked backwards for this particular stamp as it was easier for me this way. Once they were all stamped, I die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I set them off to the side and moved on to the next step.
I cut down a piece of cream cardstock that has natural flecks in it just for a little interest. Then I used the large Celebrate word that comes in the set and stamped it on the bottom right hand side of the cardstock in black ink. I also used the additional 'Your Day' sentiment underneath it. I then laid over my balloons where I wanted them hovering over the sentiment and stamped the balloon strings accordingly, making sure they connected to the sentiment. I then popped up my balloons on foam tape and adhered them on top of the strings. Lastly, I cut down a piece of grey patterned paper that had stars on it and adhered to a card base. Then using more foam tape I adhered the entire panel onto the other side of my card base.
That finishes up my simple birthday card, I hope you enjoyed and were inspired to create a fast birthday card.

ReplyDeleteLove your card! I just bought the set and I'm experimenting with layering the colors. Can you recommend combinations of inks to get the results you got?
