Happy Tuesday Friends!
It's time once again to share a creation I've designed for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.
Today's card is pretty simple but I think not just cute ... but totally mailable!!
Dies R Us products used on today's card are as follows:
I bet you didn't realize that Dies R Us handles some Embossing Folders & Stamps in their store too! How cool is that!! And the best way I have found to locate what they might have available is to use their SEARCH function. Just type in a word ... click on the Search magnifying glass ... and see everything available in that topic.
Even though this card is relatively simple in design ...
I did a couple little things that I think you might find interesting!
First of all, I'm sure you noticed I used words from two different die sets ... why not!!!
Secondly, I wanted to shadow those words but didn't want to use black because I was afraid it would be to SHARP and drown out my embossed balloons. So, I got the bright idea to use the scraps that were left from my balloon background panel but of course I had to modify their color so they would stand out from the background ... hence I sponged them with a different shade of blue and used Tim Holtz oxide ink since it was the most handy.

Thirdly, while working with shadowing my words I realized that my sponge dauber was close to the same size as the balloons on my embossed panel so figured why not give them a touch of accent color too ... AWESOME!! Every once in awhile I come up with a good idea! LOL
