Oh my this is a second post from me today! Scroll down to see my first one.
This card was inspired by the sketch at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog. This week they have given us a sketch to follow and for some reason when I saw it I thought of balloons. Rather a lot of balloons! Must be a big party or celebration Lol! Here's the sketch -
I just had to decorate the inside with some more balloons floating away.
Before I tell you all the details of the card, the colours were chosen from another challenge blog - The Friday Mashup. I know two challenges with one card, so unusual for me! So here's the rules for this challenge
Make a card using the above colours, make a card for Kids or mash it up and make a card using the colours and for kids. Fun huh!
So here's the details of my card. I've used a Tempting Turquoise base. I then stamped the balloon from the Party This Way stamp set in Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point. Following roughly the curve in the sketch. I then popped one balloon onto dimensionals. I made a scalloped border in Daffodil Delight using the Scallop Edge Border punch and attached this to the top. I added some Daffodil Delight ribbon (this is the ribbon I currently have on as a ribbon share, have a look at the post below) along the border then attached the panel to the card base.
This was such a fun card to make, check out the other entries in the challenges. There's loads of inspiration. x
