Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by for this week's card, This week I focused on a birthday card for a friend of mine! and I think it turned out pretty great! Let's jump right in.
To start I always cut down my cardstock to size because I like to know what I'm working with. I started with an A2 sized card base which is when folded in half 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches. The black panel is cut down to 1/8th of an inch smaller than the base at 5 3/8 by 4 1/8 and the Neenhan Desert storm cardstock panel is cut to 1/8th of an inch smaller than the black panel at 5 1/4 by 4 inches.
I sprayed a little pixie spray on the backs of both of my stencils in a cardboard box, Pixie Spray is wonderful when working with stencils especially ones with skinny pieces between the images. I placed the first stencil from the Studio Katia Birthday Balloons Duo and chose 3 Distress Oxide ink colours, Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade, colours I knew would overlap and create other beautiful colours. Some of my blending went into the other balloon shapes but I think that it added a bit of character to the balloons.
Once the Distress Oxide ink was dry I used one of the stencils and some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone, creating some stunning glittery balloon's. I set that panel aside to dry and wanted to do some stamping inside of my card base I took a solid balloon stamp from Simon says stamps Big Birthday Greetings set and stamped out 5 balloons, 3 in the same colours of Distress Oxide ink I used to blend the front panel as well as Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio and a sentiment in Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink. I used a Pilot Pen to create strings holding the balloons.
That's the whole card for this week! I cannot wait until I see you all next time!! A full step by step video is under this post if you would like to check it out, as well as a full supplies list is linked below the video. Thank you so much and I will see you next time.
