Happy Monday! Hard to believe it's come around again...I'm pretty sure it was just Friday an hour or so ago!
Today I have one of the projects I designed for my team to make at our meeting tonight. I wanted to showcase the Irresistibly Yours Specialty paper from the Sale-a-bration catalogue:
Now it is hard to tell from this photo, but the coloured strip down the length of the card is masked and sponged. The rest of the white space has the embossed stars on it too! I used
Melon Mambo,
Tangelo Twist and
Crushed Curry as my colour scheme. I masked a 1-1/4 section before sponging so that I would have the bold stripe highlighting the star pattern. The balloon is from the
Celebrate Today set and is stamped in
Melon Mambo ink on
vellum. I then heat embossed the confetti stars in
white on the reverse side...I love the way it looks like a real balloon that you can see through! I die cut the balloon with the
Balloon Framelits and added some
Crushed Curry baker's twine.
The word "happy" is die cut using the
Hello You Thinlits from
Melon Mambo card stock. The word "birthday", from the
Crazy about You set, is stamped in
Tangelo Twist ink. I added one of the Best Year Ever Sale-a-bration buttons so that it looked like the balloon was tied to the button. The front panel is matted on
Melon Mambo card stock and mounted on a
Tangelo Twist card base.
On the inside I stamped the balloon again in
Melon Mambo and then used a sentiment from the
Big News stamp set in
Tangelo Twist ink.
I hope my team likes this project tonight!
Very clever! Love this card.
