Hey Everyone! It's time for the July Celebration Sale & Release Blog Hop! Here is a link to the STORE for those of you eager to shop!
Now onto the hop! If you are here from Jamie then you are in the right place. If not start at the beginning over on the Jaded Blossom blog.
I created a trio of projects using this awesome balloon release.
For my first project, I created a clean and simple card using the gorgeous new Balloon Stencil. Using primary colors, I lightly inked the largest balloon thrice, adding strings with a multiliner pen. I sprayed the panel with Dina Wakley Gilt Gloss Spray and die cut the stitched panel.
For the sentiment, I cut the shadow layers from vellum and stacked the words atop cut from white. I really love it. I may make several of these in various colorways for my stash.
Supplies used:
Balloon Stencil (new)
Birthday Word Dies
Card Mat Dies
For my second project, I embellished a wee kraft box with the little tag dino from Friend-A-Saurus. I chopped off the stamped balloons from the image and used a white gel pen to cover the little bits of stamped balloon strings that remained after fussy cutting him out. Or her.. I used purple and pink for the hat. I stamped the heart balloon, adding a bit of red to the edges and stamping again for color gradation. A strip of vellum across the top was perfect for the sentiment.
Supplies used:
Friend-a-Saurus
Balloon Numbers (new)
My final project showcases the same wee dino with balloons bigger than himself. As with the heart balloon, I added dark ink at the base of the letters and blended out a bit before stamping over the initial green. I stenciled the dots in yellow then blue along the tags perimeter and dry embossed the tiny dino stencil onto the green base panel. I used that same stencil to add a bit of yellow about the sentiment inside of the card.
Supplies used:
Friend-a-Saurus
Dinomite
Balloon Letters 1 and 2 (new)
Luggage Tag Dies
Polka Dot Stencil (new)
