Balloon Shaker

Good morning folks, I hope you are having a good week so far. Today is the 2nd day in a new job for me, I wonder how long it will take before I feel like I have the hang of things????? knowing me, never lol.

Anyway, today's card is another of the ones I made for my grandson's birthday at the end of January, this time from mum.

I used the tonic studios It's Party Time set, with the matching balloon die and shaker pouch, and teamed it with the Clearly Besotted Playful Pair stamp set, for those cute elephants.

I stamped the elephants and small balloons, and coloured them with Copic Markers. 

Then I used the Tonic Studios Balloon Shaker die to cut the large balloon shape, and popped in the balloon pouch. 

I used MFT Stamps Starlight Number dies to cut the 12, and positioned these on the background underneath the die cut window. 

Then I filled the balloon with iridescent sequins from Lucy's Cards, and placed it all on to a dark blue A2 note card.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Altenew Layered Roses

Good morning all, are you having a good week? I hope so, and I hope you are getting some good weather wherever you are.

Today's card is made using those beautiful Layered Rose stamps and dies from Altenew. I still can't believe that these were free on the Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine.

We have been wanting to try some Altenew stamps for a while now, but every time we see some they are out of stock!!! But these ones are lovely. I had a little play with different inks and different colours, but really loved the blues.

I used an A2 card blank and then layered white card on the front. Then I used some blue flowered washi tape along the top.

I grouped the roses together and then stamped the leaves and cut them out. Then I arranged them around the flowers.

I used one of the greetings that came with the set and cut it out with an MFT banner die from a blueprints set, and then finished the card with a few sequins from Lucy's Cards, this mix is called Robin's Egg.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
