Not one but two blog posts in a week - not sure what happened there?!!! I'm up on the Daring Cardmakers blog today where the theme is '99 Balloons'. Now even I couldn't manage that many but with a little masking I managed to add some extra balloons to my stamped image.
I've used a favourite Time for Tea Designs Stamp set that has an adorable array of cats on it and one just happened to be holding balloons. I coloured in the image using my Chameleon pens. Being as the cat was going to hold a fair few balloons, I decided to do a sky background using a stencil and distress inks to show the cat floating in the air.
For the balloons I decided to use my new Nuvo Jewel drops as they dry transculent and give a realistic look to them. It was a little challenging to take a decent photo but you can see the raised effect created above.
I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set in white and matted and layered on black card to finish.
You can see a lot more inspiration for the challenge by my fellow DT HERE so I hope you'll join in and we look forward to seeing all your balloon themed cards!
I'm teaching tomorrow and on Sunday I can look forward to my son's birthday party. He's ever so excited!
Enjoy your weekend and see you again next week,
