Happy Birthday 2U...


Inspired by this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch (strongly influenced by Kim's gorgeous bunch of balloons!), together with the colours and shape repetition from Jocelyn's fabulous CASE Study and the extra colour palette from Summer Camp Homework Week 2 - Day 5.  I broke out my Hero Arts inks in Bubble Gum, Orange Soda and Tide Pool and paired them with this gorgeous rubber stamp set from Yellow Owl Workshop.  I tried unsuccessfully to create this as a one-layer card, only to discover the high degree of difficulty associated with lining up rubber stamps on wooden blocks - not quite as transparent as the clear stamps & blocks I'm used to LOL - so I stamped and fussy cutting the balloons instead.  To match the colours, I stamped the Bubble Gum and Tide Pool straight onto scrap paper before die cutting with My Favorite Things number & alphas.
 

Playing along with CASual Fridays Count Me In - it's a two weeker!

  11. Oh Lyndal, you're such a trooper for trying to make a one layered card with wood blocked stamps! I, too, have always struggled with that until I invested into a Stamp-A-Majig - best $7 bucks spent of all time! LOL These balloons are too cute for words and the perfect take on the sketch! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS(E) This Sketch - we're so glad you did!
