For the recent Colour Creations blog hop focussing on Azure Afternoon, a new Stampin' Up! colour, I made a card using the Beautiful Balloons bundle. I was a bit diffident about the colour we were showcasing, until I came up with a lovely bright colour combo. The design for my card was inspired by another card I had made, that I'm sharing today. So, this was my original, that I reworked in different colours for the recent blog hop. I really love this one; it's one of my recent favourites.
I created the background by stamping the streamers from Beautiful Balloons, on Basic White card. I used Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath and Misty Moonlight inkpads. Once the stamping was done, I cut the panel out with a Scalloped Contours Die.
The sentiment was die-cut using the Wanted to Say Dies, and Fresh Freesia and Basic White card. I popped it up on Foam Strips, to sit over the balloon strings.
I cut stars using one of the dies from Beautiful Balloons, in Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath and Misty Moonlight card. After embossing the stars with a Basics 3D embossing folder, I sponged the edges with ink to match the cardstock colours.
The scalloped rectangle fits beautifully on a Radiating Stitches Die-cut rectangle of Fresh Freesia card. Tinsel Gems 3-pack were my embellishment of choice; I love the glassy, glossy, look of these gems.
Listed below are all the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
