Well, let's dive into how I created this fun birthday card. I began with a panel cut from smooth white cardstock to fit an A2 size card base and leave a bit of a border. Using the large balloon from the Simon Says Stamp Balloon Trio die set, I die cut the balloon in the center of three pieces of vellum trimmed to be the same size as the panel. I then used the shape of the ballon cut into the vellum as my stencil. I then ink blended each balloon to look transparent just by overlapping the stencils each time I ink blended them using distress oxides.Using some coordinating distress inks to create my ink splatter. I then die cut the Let's Party sentiment from holographic paper for a shiny festive look. I then took the stencils and ink blended panel and placed the Let's Party die in the center balloon and ran that through my die cut machine. I made sure to keep all the bits because I wanted to do some die cut inlay with the sentiment. So I just pieced it all together like a puzzle for that low profile look. I then just added some silver twine for the string to my balloons for a little extra shine.
