Stampin' Up Balloon Celebration

Let The Balloons Fly

Birthday Card made with 110# Whisper White card stock base, I cut a curve off the bottom of the front and poked holes for interest then backed it with some pretty Kaleidoscope polka dotted paper.  Balloons were stamped in Strawberry Slush and Primrose Petals, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Strings were drawn in with a Stampin' Dazzle Silver Marker.

Stampin' Up Honeycomb Happiness Blue Bird

Stampin' Up

Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White with ta touch of Pumpkin Pie

I stamped the bird from Honeycomb Happiness (2016 Sale-A-Bration) in Basic Black onto Soft Sky card stock and shaded him with the Soft Sky Marker, then colored his beak and feet with Pumpkin Pie Marker, cut him out and glued him to the Whisper White after stamping the balloon first.  I then stamped the balloon onto Daffodil Delight and cut it out and glued it over the stamped image, and added white gel pen for a hightlight.  Sentiment was made using the Alphabet Rotary Stamp.
