Balloon Die - Two Ways

Hello Everybody,

So today's card is using the new balloons from the  Border Collection and I have tried to show you just how different these can look depending on what you do with them.

I have used the Pattern Blocks Stamp Set to add 
interest to them in this card and used both parts of the numbers set for the age
For this one I have used bright Copics in three shades to all the balloons and then a white gel pen to add the pattern on top. 

The tiny gemstones make them look extra special and I hand drew the balloon strings around the sentiment at the bottom.

The clouds in the background are added with Distress Ink in Broken China with tiny "V's" added for the birds in the distance



But this is a set that you can have some fun with for any occasion you may have to make a card for 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  4. The balloons are awesome! Love the idea of putting the age on the balloons.

    I know Christmas this year is going to be very different with a lot of sadness in your family. We all wish we could change that for you but can only offer encouragement and prayers. Rejoice in the special memories and hold them close to your heart. Merry Christmas Christina and family!
