Hi, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Vicki's choice of Balloons. Well, what's a birthday without balloons? I used Altenew's Balloon Bunch - those suckers are really hard to line up perfectly!
I made another card while I was at it, repeating the sentiments as a background.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what our surprise party guests and the rest of the team have made, and join in the fun. If you don't want to use balloons in your creation, you can play along with our Anything Goes theme as long as it's birthday related.
It looks like you succeeded in getting them lined up in the end. well done, it was worth it as the layers give them such great dimension. Great background too. Thanks so much for having me as your surprise party guest. I have had such a good time xx
ReplyDeleteLove the life like balloons Shirley. The look great over that wonderful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like you did a perfect job lining up those stamps to me. Both versions
ReplyDeleteare pleasing and shows how you can get a different look with sentiments.
Shirley, I Love each one! Those balloons are perfect! Love the different backgrounds too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThose balloons are so cool! I heard a hint; place a black dot on the stamps for easy line up. I’m planning on doing that with all my layered stamps!
ReplyDeleteShirley, from my eye the balloons look perfect! I love the bright colors and the fun shapes of the balloons. And your sentiments (both cards) are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThey may have been fiddly but the end result is wonderful. I love the appeared dimension on the balloons and the multistamping of the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these two versions, Shirley. I think you've lined the balloons up quite well in both the cards. And I really liked the look of the bunch of sentiments in the first card. Definitely something for me to remember!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these Shirley, the layered balloons look fantastic and I love the backgrounds, awesome cards, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteShirley, two awesome balloon cards that look perfectly lined up to me.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card Shirley. Love the fun shaped balloons. Hugs, Denise x
ReplyDeleteI love the cluster of sentiments on the first one Shirley - is that just one stamp or did you stamp a whole bunch of different ones? It looks so effective behind the strings of the balloons!
ReplyDeleteIt’s just one stamp, Claire, from a set called 'More For The Boys' by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs (UK).
