More Ink Blended Balloons Card Ideas

When I had my Honey Bee Layering Balloons Stencils out for the cards I talked about yesterday, I actually created four backgrounds.  I turned those backgrounds into six cards.  To see the first four cards check out yesterday's post - Inspired by Kelly - Two for One Balloon Cards.

For the first card, I used Distress Ink in Villanous Potion, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio to build my layered balloon background.  I cut three of the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Birthday sentiment and glued them together to build some dimension.  Keeping things simple I added the A2 panel onto a white card base and glued the sentiment in the lower half of the card.

For card two, I used Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, and Salty Ocean.  I pulled the Absolutely Fabulous dies from My Favorite Things and die-cut the top portion of the panel.  Next, I adhered the balloon panel to a white panel and die-cut the two layers with the largest of my stitched rectangles.  I stamped "have an" above "absolutely" before mounting the panel onto a black card base.  Next, I used black cardstock and die cut fabulous.  To complete the card I added a small banner with the word birthday heat embossed in white and a few matching gems.
