Welcome to our first challenge for April.. The Green team has a great challenge for you at Craftaholics R Us #14
and the theme is Happy Birthday
Time for another birthday card. I love when the challenge is for something I know I will need in the near future. I wanted to make this more masculine but with the background paper it could be feminine also. Really it could be for either. I used Oxide inks and stamped the Simon Says balloons. I stamped each balloon 3 times to try to get good coverage. I then went to another color and stamped it again 3 times. I then used white ink and stamped the string and sentiment. I heat embossed in white powder and where the white powder got on the balloons I just left because it kinda looked like highlighting. If I realized before hand I was going to emboss I would of used my static bag.. I cut the piece down and added to the background designer paper.
