Seize The Birthday - Balloons

 


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.

  3. It sure looks like you did a perfect job lining up those stamps to me. Both versions
    are pleasing and shows how you can get a different look with sentiments.

  5. Those 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!

  8. I'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!

  12. I 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!

    1. It’s just one stamp, Claire, from a set called 'More For The Boys' by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs (UK).
