This afternoon I made a card for the challenge at:
where the theme is " Paper Piecing" how fun and fabulous. So I pulled out my stampin up Hand Delivered stamp set to create this card. I stamped the lady and her balloons. I then did all kinds of experimenting. I first tried all sorts of patterned paper, but that didn't look right, then I did bold and bright colors but still nothing to fabulous, then I pulled out the famous polka dots, and YES> that was it. However, layering this card was another project for me. I really wanted the balloons to pop, so I wanted to keep the background a party, but yet simple. So I embossed it, did a bit of sponging for color and then die cut out the oval, added a bit of pink sparkle paper behind it, fussy cut out the gal and all the balloons, I mean I was doing a lot of cutting anyways, so why stop now? haha.. then pop dotted her up to help her stand out.
I think this is a fun party card. I will be giving this to a dear friend. I'm so poor at sending out my cards, but I LOVE to make them. And JULY is a very busy month of birthdays. Well actually June-Sept.. very busy.
Hopefully I will get with the program and start getting these cards in the mail.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
Love all the bright colors in this card and the balloons are so cute! When in doubt use polka dots!
