Jeweled Balloon

Create your own background panel, using strips of leftover designer series paper. They don't even have to be the same width. As long as the length is the same, you can make it work. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Lift Me Up

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 4-1/2 x 3-1/4, Scrap

   Real Red DSP Strips

   Basic Black 2-5/8 x 3-1/2

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Up & Away Thinlits Dies

   Washi Label Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Washi Tape

   Dimensionals

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I pulled some leftover strips out of the Real Red DSP pack. 

I then adhered them onto the Very Vanilla panel. Flipping every other one to establish a pattern.

I then attached this panel to the Very Vanilla card front, centering it on the top part of the card. 

Next, I added a strip of Washi tape to even out the bottom of the card.

I then die cut the hot air balloon, using the Up & Away Thinlits Dies. 

Next, I adhered it, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

I then stamped, punched, and attached the sentiment with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the balloon.

HAPPY STAMPING!

High Thank You

 Have you ever gone up on a hot air balloon? I often thought it would be quite an adventure to experience. Yet, it seems the older I get, the more fearful I become of heights. So, I do not see it happening any time soon. Here are some hot air balloons flying over the neighborhood. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Lift Me Up

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

   Good Neighbors

Paper:

   Not Quite Navy A-2, Scraps

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Ruby Red Scraps

   Barely Banana Scraps

Ink:

   Not Quite Navy

   Ruby Red

   Barely Banana

   Basic Gray

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:

   Up & Away Thinlits

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my townhouses on the bottom of the card. I added the roofs. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig tool to get exact stamping on these. I did not want the roofs to fall. Since this is a wooden stamp set, the stamp-a-ma-jig was the best tool to use with the least amount of trouble.

I then stamped clouds randomly above. In retrospect, I would stamp fewer ones, or leave them out completely. After all, we want to see the balloons!

Next, I stamped and die cut my balloons. I adhered these to the card front, using liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I added rhinestones, stamped my sentiment, and adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
