Happy balloon card:-)

This week I thought I should sort out my clear stamp collection since it was just all over the place, I started out with my HA stamps of course:-) Here is the pile that I had to sort out, all 38 of them!!! I didn't realise I had so many,.. and to think that I accumulated this many stamps in only about 8 months!! Gosh!

Feeling rather guilty for purchasing so many, I though I would separate them by type: the sentiment stamps in one lot, holiday stamps in one lot etc.. I was pretty glad I did that since now I can buy stamps which I don't have much of, namely Holiday stamps!! I only have two sets! (sneaky way to justify it huh? with the new HA Holiday catalog being released.. ha ha)

So after I cleaned my stamps, I decide to use the stamp packs that were yet unopened, yes I have some!! crazy, I know!!

This is actually an idea I had two weeks ago, just didn't get around to make it:-) I use the balloon from the 'monster fun' stamp, love love love this set..

Here is a close-up of the dimension I achieved using pop dots...

Totally satisfied with the finished card:-)

Although I wish I could learn to colour balloons better:-(

Supplies:

Hero Arts set: Monster fun, Everyday sayings

Distress Ink by Ranger: Tumbled glass

Memento Tuxedo black ink

Copics for colouring

Have a great day:-)

Hugs!!

On your special day!!

Today I made this card for the challenge at EBTKS( http://www.ebtkschallenge.blogspot.com/). It was all about making a layout or a card using string.

What better way to make a fun card other than balloons! so i took my brand new Lime Rickey mini paper pad and came up with a creation with a pretty acetate window:-)

Hope you find it interesting, and all comments are welcome.

Happy stamping!
