a balloon for a baby boy...


  • W plus 9- 'unforgettable' stamps and dies
  • tim holtz distress ink pads- broken china, tumbled glass, wild honey, scattered straw
  • W plus 9- 'wishing you' stamps
  • archival ink pad- jet black
  • crafters companions neenah cardstock
  • memento ink pad- tuxedo black
  • copics- B00,01,02. W2,3,4. E11
  • wink of stella- clear
  • 5x5" white card blank
  • craftwork cards digi cardstock (for mats)
  • crafters companion Neenah cardstock (for colouring)
I planned out my card according to the sketch, then cut my mats to size. I used stars from the unforgettable set to make a background layer. I cut the second layer into a banner shape and stamped a sentiment from the wishing you set. I added a little ink to the edges of the mats, to softly highlight them. I stamped, coloured and die cut my elephant and balloon images. I glued all the mats down flat and added the images with foam tape. the finishing touch was some wink of stella glitter on the balloon.
