Using Balloon Adventures a few ways




Having fun playing with this new set and loving that it combines with the Balloon Bouquet Punch.



I've been inspired by the colour combination at Colour INKspiration- a fun new colour challenge on Facebook. You can read more about that on my other post here.
This was my card to start off the challenge mood - you can see more if you click on the image.

Todays cards are quick and easy
The fabulous Note Cards and Envelopes are such a great way to speed up your crafting, and they are so economical, I always have both White and Crumb Cake on hand.

To create this card I did a quick watercolour wash for the background, stamped and punched the balloons and layered them up on dimensionals. The sentiments for inside are so fun, and of course you should never have a naked envelope!

For the second card I simple masked off each section and stamped the images so they were only partial images in a single row of colour.

This set will be available January 4 - along with lots of new exciting products. Can't wait to show you some more of them! Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
