I decided to use the big balloon from the Balloon Festoon Dies for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. It works well for the oval shape. I die cut it from a piece of Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper.
Here’s the sketch I used. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.
Tips & Instructions
Bubble Bath Card Base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Basic White - 4 x 5-1/4, stamp the sentiment at the bottom right corner in Bubble Bath ink using the Balloon Festoon Stamp Set. I broke it into 2 lines.
Splash of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper - die cut using the 3rd from largest balloon from the Balloon Festoon Dies.
Lay the die cut balloon over the white layer to determine positioning but don’t adhere it yet. Stamp the star grouping at the top in Versamark ink and heat emboss using silver embossing powder. Lay the balloon on the layer again and determine where to stamp a second grouping of the stars, heat emboss them.
Now lay the balloon on the layer and stamp the balloon string in Versamark ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.
Adhere the balloon to the layer.
Add some silver Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems.
On the inside layer (4 x 5-1/4), stamp the sentiment in Bubble Bath ink. Use the smallest balloon die to die cut one balloon from the Splash of Sparkles paper and 2 balloons from Bubble Bath Cardstock. Arrange them to determine where to stamp the strings and then stamp them in Versamark ink and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Adhere the balloons.
I love the shine on the Splash of Sparkles paper, perfect for a balloon!
