Hello my bloggy friends and happy Monday! Happy Monday?? Well, this Monday it is! Because this week I am the guest designer on the super fab Penny Black Blog! Yeah, so excited about this! You guys know how much I adore Penny Black images! Each day there will be a different card on their blog…and then on Friday I'll do a recap post here on my blog with all the cards. Fun, yes? Yes! Looking forward to sharing with you and the rest of the Penny Black fan club. If you're coming to my blog for the first time – Welcome!
Today's card is made with the new Penny Black Balloon dies, which are the perfect size for cards. I am going to get lots of use from these, I can already tell. I kept the card clean and simple with a bright color palette.
I die cut three big round balloons out of some fresh colored papers! I added a bit of white pen and then a touch of glitter to them as you can see in the photo. I made my embossed background for a bit of visual interest. The twine was pushed through a hole in the paper right under the balloons and then secured with some tape on the back!
Here you can see my layers! I like this card because it's just happy – and it's perfect for any birthday occasion, for any age person! The heart accent on the card is actually a heart shaped balloon, and then I cut the bottom off.
Here are some sneaky peeks at my cards for the rest of the week! Yipppeeeee! Please hop on over to the Penny Black blog too and check out everything over there!
