Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!
We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...
Numbers
Remember, the twist is optional
but you MUST use an embossing folder on your projects to qualify for the
prize. Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with
an embossing folder.
Here's what I've created to inspire you today ...
Today I've used the Lisa Horton 3D Balloon High 5x7 embossing folder & die set for the main focus of my card.
After embossing from a white card stock panel, I watercolored each balloon using Tombow markers, water & artist brush then die cut with the coordinating die. Then, I once again ran it through the embossing folder before adding it to my card front.
The background paper is an OLD 12x12 sheet purchased either at JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby years ago that I spotted in my stash. The large Tutti Designs circle die was hanging on my 'extras' pegboard and I thought it would draw attention to this balloon bouquet nicely. A little white ribbon was also 'laying around' so added it for additional texture & dimension.
The numbers were achieved by diving into my old Creative Memories scrapbooking stash for number/letter stickers.
I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.

ReplyDeleteWow, this is cute! The circle frame is perfect for the balloon bouquet, and I'm glad you said how you added the numbers 'cause I was trying to figure it out before I read the rest of your post. They look like they're part of the embossing! Very cool!
