Birthday Balloons

Hello everyone,

Today's post is another great pair of fun 'birthday' cards.

The card bases are Stampin’ Up Elegant Eggplant.  The printed paper is of unknown origin layered on a textured green also of unknown origin.  The sentiment is Stampin’ Up Birthday Blossoms stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White, layered on more textured green and highlighted with Reeves Watercolor pencil crayons.

Balloons are an inherent element of birthdays so it was a no-brainer to craft a couple of birthday cards using this awesome printed paper.  The colours were obviously drawn from the printed paper and I thought it rather fun to add the textured green paper.  The layouts are very simple and was determined to leave the images as visible as possible.  The results are really effective and just great!

I hope you enjoy these cards and come back to SPI again soon.
