This card is for today's sketch challenge, today's Alphabet Challenge (letter I for inflatables), and yesterday's color challenge colors. This is take 2.
When I did the balloon background, I made two. This one I used both layers of the layered stencil to create my background. Using my Misti, I repeat stamped the word happy down the side of the panel (though I did change the side from the sketch). This time I chose to heat emboss it using silver embossing powder.
I wanted to use a cake die cut for this but my cake was not the right scale so on to plan B. I took SU markers directly to the stamp to color my cupcake and stamped it. I used a Versamark marker on the sentiment and heat embossed it. It didn't turn out quite right so I did it again and adhered it below where it should be, then die cut the image with a circle framelit and matted it with silver mirror.
I had these three sequins on my desk and thought they went with Pear Pizzaz so stuck them on too.
I like this embossed version too. Thanks for all of the challenges and thanks for looking.
