Hello there! I can't believe how fast the two months have flown by and I am now at my final post as the Surprise Party Guest for Seize the Birthday (STBf)! I want to thank the team at STB, in particular Nancy, for having me join them this summer. I've enjoyed playing along with the optional toppings and this one was no different because I love Rainbows!
Rainbow cards are always so cheery and fun. Here's my clean and simple (CAS) birthday card.
On a stitched rectangle die cut from Whisper White cardstock, the HB2U was stamped with Memento black ink, then masked. Next, took a DIY die cut balloon stencil in my supply and blended distress inks in rainbow colours with a mini blending tool. On three of them, I double stencilled by inking through a Shooting Star stencil over top of the balloon stencil.
Drew in the balloon strings with a black Copic multiliner. Heat embossed the sentiment from the same set with white embossing powder on a black strip. Adhered the panel to a white card base, then added Crystal Glaze to HB2U for some shine and dimension. Popped the sentiment strip up on some foam tape to finish.
And that concludes my time with the ladies at STB. For more fabulous inspirations, head over to the STB blog HERE. Hope to see you in the gallery. Thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day!
