Libby's Craft Studio: Beautiful Balloons Birthday Card

Just Add Ink Challenge #659.

For my "Birthday" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Bundle & Charming Sentiments Stamp Set along with Bright & Beautiful DSP.

For my card base, I used Lemon Lolly Cardstock followed by Pretty Peacock Cardstock and next strips of Bright & Beautiful DSP on each side and a large rectangle of a coordinating color in the center.

The fringe was die cut using DSP and ruffled a bit with my fingers to create some dimension.

The largest balloon was die cut using Pretty Peacock cardstock. Using Pretty Peacock ink, I stamped the dotted image onto the die cut.

The next size balloon was die cut from Lemon Lolly cardstock and stamped using the same ink and finally the smallest balloon was die cut using Coastal Cabana cardstock and also stamped with the same ink color.

The balloons were adhered together and added onto the card front with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped using Pretty Peacock ink onto DSP. After cleaning the stamp, I pulled it off the stamp block and lay it onto the stamped sentiment, lining up the words. I traced lightly around the stamp with a pencil, fussy cut and erased any pencil marks. I adhered it onto the balloons with dimensionals.

The embellishments are Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is Pretty Peacock cardstock with a layer of Basic White cardstock.

I stamped the larger balloon using Lemon Lolly ink and the smaller balloon using Coastal Cabana ink. The tails were stamped using Pretty Peacock ink.

The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and the confetti image was stamped using Coastal Cabana ink.
