BALLOON BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am back!!  I am feeling much better and even felt like I needed to get a little creative.  So I made a birthday card for my granddaughter.  We have three birthdays this month so I will be back with two more cards in the next few days.

 Isn't it just perfect for a little girl turning five?!!  The colors I used are hello honey, melon mambo and pink pirouette.  I used the new balloon punch and drew on the strings with my matching marker.  The stamp set is Endless Birthday Wishes.

 This is the inside.  I used the Endless Birthday Wishes set again, as well as the smallest balloon from the Balloon Punch.  I also used the new candy dots from the Occasions Catalog and one sequin of unknown origin. (I found it lying on my desk!!)  grin.

One more look at this fun and happy card.  The Sunshine die cut is from Bohemian paper and the die is from SSS.

Thanks for stopping by!!  Hopefully I will have another card for you this week to enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BALLOONS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am a bit late for posting my Sketch Frenzy Friday card for this week.  Here it is without further ado:

I used the Balloon Dies to cut out the designer paper and backed it with whisper white.  The card base is bermuda bay and so is the ink. I put the speckles on the balloons with markers in the colors of bermuda bay, delightful dijon and rose red, and a sprayer.

Here was the sketch I worked from:

INLAID DIE CUT BALLOONS BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I made a very special birthday card for a very special girl for her 12th birthday.

 I used some fun new items I purchased on line.  These balloon die cuts are just the perfect shaped balloon I have seen.  I LOVE THEM.  I die cut them out, colored them with my sponge dauber and inks to blend, then added Wink of Stella on top before gluing them back into their negative image.

The stamp set included these fun balloon string sentiments to trail below the string.

 Here is a close up of the balloons and the pretty shine from the Wink of Stella.  Also, look how pretty these sequins are!!

One more look at the finished card.

Happy Birthday Lily!!
