The new challenge starting at Festive Friday today is celebrating “Balloons Around the World Day.” We chose 10 items inspired by our festivity to create the Inspo List, and if you would like to join in the challenge, just choose at least 3 of those items to include on your card. You may use the theme of the festivity, but you don’t have to, any theme you want is fine with us!
The items I chose to use on my card were balloons, red, purple, and paper piecing. The “Happy” balloons are from a Simon Says Stamp kit, and the dog image is from Rubbernecker Stamps. I stamped both of those and then used a liquid masking fluid so I could blend the purple ink rectangle over them where I wanted it. Now in hindsight I probably could have just blended right over the images without masking because I ended up paper piecing over them anyway. (Poor planning!)
I added some glossy accents to the dog’s eyes and nose to finish it off.
