Balloons and Polka Dots

 

This card has quite a few layers and a little bit of texture added with the pompom trim.  I started with a base of Whisper White and added some balloons with the Balloon Celebration stamp set.

 

 

For the next layer I used some Party Animal designer series paper layered onto a piece of Crushed Curry card stock.  The final layer is the sentiment from Big on Birthdays layered onto

Crumb Cake card stock.

 

Supplies:

Balloon Celebrations, Big on Birthdays

Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake ink

Whisper White, Tip top Taupe, Crushed Curry card stock

Pompom trim

Party Animal dsp

 

Plum and Slate

I don't know if I have used the colors on this card in combination before, but I really like how they work together.  Smoky Slate and Perfect Plum were the colors I added to the Whisper White card base. 

Then I stamped the Happy on another piece of Whisper White and colored in the space around the words with a Smoky Slate marker and popped it up on the card base.

Finally, I added part of a paper doily and some Pompom trim for a little texture.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Smoky Slate, Perfect Plum, Basic Black ink

I am doing a little multitasking today with the card I am sharing with you.  I combined Mary Jo's sketch with the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge.

I used the Creative Elements stamp set and on the background I colored the images in with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. 

The ribbon is the retired pom pom trim ribbon in Daffodil Delight and I layered it on top of Basic Black and Old Olive card stock that I punched with the eyelet border punch.

The flower I stamped 3 times with Basic Black ink on Whisper White card stock and then used a sponge to add color and cut out the layers, adhering them with dimensionals.

Purse of cards CASE

I also made my own envelopes with the Sweet Stitches designer series paper because I didn't have

any the right size :)
