Started this project with a 3″ x 6″ piece of checked Designer Series paper.
Punched the bird and wing from a piece of Whisper White card stock.
Sponged Lucky Limeade ink on the bottom of the card stock.
Used the negative punched paper as a stencil to sponge Old Olive ink in to create the shadow for the bird.
Sponged River rock ink at the bottom of the bird and wing. Also colored in the birds beak and eye using the River Rock marker. Put a bit of River Rock marker at the bottom of the bird and wing.
Figured out where I wanted to the bird on the card stock (don’t adhere it yet). Put a dot under the birds beak on the background so I know where I want the string for the balloon to go.
Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig and Basic Black ink stamped the balloon so the string would go right over the dot I put on the background paper in the last step.
Stamped the balloon on Regal Rose card stock and cut it out.
Sponged Melon Mambo ink at the bottom of the balloon to make it appear 3D.
Adhered the bird and balloon on the background.
Added a dot of Regal Rose marker to the balloon image where it ties.
Drew in the shadow for the balloon string using an Old Olive marker.
Punched the Modern Label punch 2 times out of Whisper White card stock. Held the two punches together and cut one end off.
Added 2 Marina Mist Panels, 1 River Rock panel and the main image panel.
Assembled my card adding the label punches and 6 silver brads.
Here is my finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be extra special!
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
