Balloon Adventure Birthday Card 1 - Glittery Party On

New Year's Day is traditionally the time when I take down the Christmas decorations.  I must admit I started, but my craft table was calling me - specifically the Balloon Adventure stamp set and its coordinating framelits the Balloon Pop Up dies.

I made 3 cards, each highlighting a different aspect  of the stamp set, going from simple to more complex. Today I will post the first card and the others over the next two days.




The Flirtatious Flamingo card stock base is layered with a Whisper White layer embossed with the Confetti embossing folder.
On top of this embossed surface three balloons were built using the framelits and the Balloon Builder punch. Three balloons were die cut in silver glimmer paper and Flirtatious Flamingo punched balloons were adhered behind them.  The strings from the balloons were stamped with Black Memento ink. The balloons were then adhered to the card front - the middle one with dimensionals. Tiny bows made with White/silver Baker's twine were attached to the base of each balloon.
The sentiment was stamped on a banner which was hand cut and adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Balloon Adventure
Inks: Black Memento, Flirtatious Flamingo
Papers: Flirtatious Flamingo, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Accessories: Balloon Pop Up Framelits, Confetti Embossing Folder, White/silver Baker's Twine, dimensionals, Balloon Builder Punch
