Today, we are introducing you to Balloon Bouquet dies + Birthday Wishes Background stamp as part of the July release at Papertrey Ink. I don't make slimline cards very often, but this balloon bouquet was perfect for that, plus I got to try out the fabulous cloud and grass stencil that was part of the June 2023 Surprise Box. To create the balloons, I used two
shades of distress ink for each of the 5 colors. I smooshed the ink onto 5 small panels of watercolor paper until I got some variation in shades. Then I die cut all the balloon shapes in each panel. Nothing screams "celebration" like sequins or some other form of bling! Pop up the balloon bouquet to give it some dimension and to draw the eye to the main center of attraction.
