This was super fun, my stamps came in today's mail and I couldn't wait to use this one.
There is crystal effects (or glossy accents, or whatever your brand calls it, that clear drying glue that looks like this) on the balloon. One of the first really awesome handmade cards I ever got had a mouse holding a balloon and glossy stuff like this on the balloon and I LOVED it. That was super random...
Ok, the stamps are all by Gina K, well they are by Melanie Muenchinger for Gina K, but you buy them from Gina K (how am I supposed to list that I wonder? I want Melanie to get credit but if you want to buy them you need to go to Gina...)
I used my sewing machine for the stitching. Not one of those adorable Janome ones, a big normal sewing stuff one.
OH this is funny, I didn't have a circle cutter the size I wanted so I traced the spool from this huge spool of ribbon I got (COSTCO) and then cut it!
I think I've said enough now.
