One of my favorite online card challenge blogs has invited me to Guest Design for them this week and I couldn't be more excited! Today I'm joining the ladies over at the Tic Tac Toe card blog for challenge #078. Here's what's on the board this week.
For my card I went with the reverse diagonal of Balloon, Celebration and Any Color Ink. And just to mix it up a bit, I went with a slimline design.
I chose three colors of Distress Oxide inks and did some overlapped blending of a large balloon stencil. I used a fourth color for the balloon strings. I stamped and white heat embossed the celebration sentiment onto a strip of black card stock and mounted the panel onto a black card base. I finished it off with assorted matte enamel dots in coordinating colors. I'm really happy with the look of this one. Here's a closer look at the overlapped blending.
Supplies:
MFT -Big Balloon stencil
MFT - Bitty Birthday Wishes stamp set
Distress Oxides - Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Hickory Smoke
Assorted Manufacturers - matte enamel dots
Many thanks to the gals at the TTT challenge blog for featuring my today! I hope to see some of you playing along!
Stay safe and healthy my friends!
