Card Details: The color combo is Smoky Slate, Whisper White and Mint MacaronÂ…..which would have been a great masculine card before I sparkled it all up 😉 The card base is our Thick Whisper White Cardstock #cardbaseofthegods and measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″, the top Whispeer White panel is 3 3/4 x 5″. This is a a little smaller than the usual top layer I use, sometimes I really like that wider border it creates. There is a small rectangle of Vellum under the sentiment that measures 3 1/4 x 3 1/2″ The balloons and the sentiment are from the StampinÂ’Up! stamp set Balloon Adventure from the Occasions Catalog. I stamped the middle row of balloons in Mint Macaron first and that made it super easy to line up the Smoky Slate rows. Now if you are one of those who want to get out your stamp a ma jig, or measure, or some crazy thing like that I say go for it! I am more of a “lets eyeball that” kind of girl #toeachtheirown. The greeting is stamped in Mint Macaron on a scrap of Whisper White and cropped out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The Framelits are not currently available, but you will be able to order them beginning January 16. MARK THAT DATE DOWN. These are a must have! I added a layer of Vellum under the greeting for some depth and to add interest to a super simple stamped background. You can do this over background paper as well to add a little pop or softening. Some Smoky Slate ribbon, silver doily and a couple of rhinestones make this a sparkly and festive card perfect for a birthday celebration.
