Balloon Numbers Card with Nicky

Happy Friday friends! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a new birthday card created using the Balloon Numbers stamps and coordinating dies. Please read on for all the details.

To create this card I first ink blended an A2 white panel of cardstock using Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Bundled Sage and Crushed Olive Distress Oxide Inks. I spattered on some water and blotted it up to distress the background and then dotted in a little toning colour interest too.

I framed this panel out with a white die cut created using the Comic Strip Everyday Die (I snipped out the vertical and horizontal pieces). The frame was backed with foam tape and applied and I glued this to my card base. I then used the Icing Border Dies to create the two swirly edges which I glued in place.

I stamped the number 17 using the Balloon Numbers stamp set and Fire Coral Ink by MFT. I restamped the image using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in clear so that the balloon numbers were glossy. You'll need a Misti to repeat stamp accurately. I die cut the numbers using the coordinating dies.

I then stamped the bunnies, butterflies and clouds from Tulip Path Background Stamp and I coloured with the following Copic markers:

Bunnies - E44, E31, E41, E40, R22, R21, R20, R00
Butterflies - BG1, BG10
Clouds - RV10, R000

I die cut using the coordinating dies, backed each element with dimensional foam tape and applied to the scene along with the balloons. I used a metallic gel pen and a ruler to draw in the balloon strings.

For a few finishing touches I stamped in a few tufts of grass and used a couple of green Copic markers to add some shade under the bunnies and I stamped the other words on white sentiment strips and applied them together with a few sparkling clear sequins.

Enjoy your weekend, I hope you can squeeze in some cardmaking time!
