Balloon Birthday

Balloons anyone! I hosted the Clean and Simple challenge on Monday and this is my sample card.

It was my birthday Saturday past, and Canada 

is celebrating our 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation and, the US will be celebrating their 4th of July, so to celebrate 

I decided on balloons. 

For my card I stencilled the circles using my Clarity brushes, gradually fading out the circles. I die cut 2 balloons in 

vellum and brushed on the colours,

added the twine and attached on foam dots. 

For my sentiment, I heat embossed my sentiment using 

gold embossing powder and die cut it with

the stitched rectangles and used vellum tape to attach to 

the card base. And to finish, a scattering of 

sequins completes my card. 

I have missed posting to my blog. I have been

knee deep in painting my place. What a job, but 

what a difference too. I am loving my colours 

making such a happy place to create.

Thanks for visiting, I will see you next time.
