Today’s card was inspired by the current Seize the Birthday challenge where the extra topping this time around is to use a non-neutral card base.
Colored card bases are a frequent thing with me so this didn’t require any extra effort on my part. I grabbed a new stamp set from a recent online order and came up with this.
I stamped the balloon bundle in the bottom center portion of the card panel and then created a mask using a full sticky post it note. Using the mask, I then stamped twice more, once to the right and then again to the left of the original stamped image. I colored the balloons with COPIC markers and used the yellow shade to color the edges of a scalloped panel cut slightly larger than the stamped panel. I quadruple die cut the word Happy, stacked the layers and adhered them to the card front. The sub sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black card stock. I finished it off by adding a thick layer of Glossy Accents to the word Happy to give the word some shine.
Supplies:
MFT Balloon Bundle stamp set
MFT Bitty Happy Birthday stamp set
MFT Block Happy Birthday dies
Mama Elephant - Femme Frame panel die

Perfect masking - you would never know that this is not just one BIG balloon stamp. Great colours (and colouring.. check out the current Inkspirational...) And great way to style the sentiment. Thanks for linking the up at Seize the Birthday!

This is such a nice birthday card! Love your coloring too. I am always too lazy to mask my cards. I need to be better about that. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday card with those colorful balloons. Great job with the masking, stamping and coloring. Love how you colored the edge of the scallop layer to match the balloons. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
