- a white card blank, tent style, cut to 5.75" high x 4.25" wide (to suit the blue mat!)
- a snippet of white card stock, stamped using balloon stamps and accessories from Uniko's 'Balloon Bash' set. Ink pads used were Memento 'Tuxedo Black', 'Paris Dusk' and 'Rhubarb Stalk' - with Brilliance 'Moonlight White' for the stars and 'shaping' on the balloons
- stamped the sentiment using Memento 'Rhubarb Stalk' ink again and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's 'Hello Sunshine' set
- die cut the image panel using a die from Lil' Inkers 'Stitched Rectangles' set
- a snippet of dark blue card stock, which I know from my swatch is SU's 'Night of Navy', embossed using the largest die from Lil' Inkers 'Stitched Rectangles' set and then trimmed to suit
- then I just layered it all up using Collall All Purpose glue
The Uniko stamp set comes with both straight and curly 'lengths of string' stamps - I obviously used the curly one but flipped it the opposite way round for one balloon - and also made sure it looks as if the two strings are looped round one another.

Oh my goodness--what a great set to win & love how you stamped it, Di! Terrific card!
ReplyDeleteOoh I really, really love those! Will have to go look at those stamps as I've seen some balloon stamps recently that I've fallen in love with and these are fab Karen xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your fab win. You've used the winnings beautifully. I KNOW this card is for Len, and I love the balloons with this sentiment. Just perfect! TFS & Hugs. (Still doing catchup. Back soon :-)
ReplyDeleteI too would go with the curly strings Di, they give a lovely floaty look to the balloons and it's a nice clean and crisp design as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's made, just need to get it posted up but might be in the morning as bit tied up today............oh dear what a pun when I was just talking about string.......... but I will make the deadline even if only by the skin of my teeth.
