STAMPIN' UP! BEAUTIFUL BALLOONS BABY CARD

 I am so happy to have big balloons (stamps and dies) back in Stampin' Up!'s range, as they can be used for so many different celebratory occasions.

The card I'm sharing today is a (very) pink baby card, using Beautiful Balloons as the feature.  The ombre background is a piece of paper from the Bright & Beautiful DSP pack.  After stamping the balloon strings in Basic Gray ink, I embossed the paper with a Basics 3D embossing folder, that I think gives it the look of a baby blanket.  Bubble Bath ink was sponged around the edges of this panel before it was adhered to a layer of Bubble Bath card.

Each balloon has been stamped differently.  The left-hand large balloon was stamped first (the solid balloon shape) in Bubble Bath ink on Bubble Bath card.  I added the confetti stamped design in Moody Mauve ink.  The same inks were used on the right-hand large balloon, but stamped onto Basic White card.  The smaller of the three balloons was first die-cut from Bubble Bath card, and quite heavily sponged with Bubble Bath ink.  I stamped the sentiment, from Charming Sentiments, in Moody Mauve ink, and added a tiny Moody Mauve heart cut using an Around The Bend Die.

Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon is a great match for Moody Mauve.  I used two lengths of this lovely ribbon to create my bow.

Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins proved to be a lovely embellishment for my card; isn't the pink gorgeous?

The second part of the sentiment, also from Charming Sentiments, was stamped in Moody Mauve ink on a strip of patterned paper also from the Bright & Beautiful DSP pack.  I cut it out using a Sending Die, and sponged around the edges with Bubble Bath ink.  The tiny Bubble Bath hearts were also cut using an Around The Bend Die.  I sponged the edges of the little hearts (and all over my fingers, in the process 😂) with Bubble Bath ink.

For a little visual interest underneath the "Congratulations", I added some Smoky Slate and Basic White die-cut pieces, created with the border die from the Irresistible Blooms set.  I trimmed these pieces with Paper Snips, to size them for my project.
