Birthday Party Balloons!

 Hello!

Happy Tuesday!

Oh my did I have fun making this card!! I did a Birthday card full of party balloons! 

I added lots of new stuff to my stash and these die balloons set is my new goodies addition with new embossing powders too! This card is a bit different too........ the balloons are embossed with different textures to make a bouquet!

I started with die-cut my ballons in two sizes. Covered them all in clear embossing ink and heat embossed in different colors and textures.

 After heat settings, I got these super gorgeous and sparkly balloons!

 Added some curly balloon strings. It looks like little raised using pop dots. I added a strip and embossed the sentiment to give it a contrast of some black with a pop of all different color balloons.

And of course, every card is in need of a little bling especially when it is for such a special person, I added enamel dots. 

All these balloons are making me feel like it's party time. They are such a happy subject to be playing with......... so there is a ton of Happiness!

Happy crafting!

Jungle Party!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today's card is my take on the sketch challenge as the theme at Cut It Up Challenges to use any favourite sketch! It's a Jungle Birthday party card with animal friends.

Here is the sketch!

I stamped the various cute animal faces on a watercoloured cardstock and coloured them with my ZIG brushes, fussy cut them all. 

Then on a white panel, I used a leafy stencil and applied DI.

Die-cut a stitched scallop border from a PP, grass border, some balloons and coloured them. Die-cut number 3 and Party text from the snippet of a black CS.

And finally arranged the whole celebration party animals with dimension.

Have fun with these cute animals. Hope you like it!

Happy crafting!
