Morning, y'all! We're off on a field trip, to Kansas Speedway, with a new homeschool group in just a bit; but before that, I wanted to pop in here to share a card I made for my Dad's birthday, which just so happens to be today. Enjoy!
I started this card by stamping the partial "BIRTHDAY WISHES COMING YOUR WAY" sentiment, in Jet Black ink, near the bottom center of a piece of White cardstock. I then topped that with a stamped, in Jet Black ink, bear, as well as the letters "B" and "G" to either side of him. The bear was colored with pencils and his nose given a hint of shine with Crystal Effects, before anchoring the panel, to the Pool Party, cardstock, card face, with silver-threaded, straight, machine stitches.
The balloons were stamped, from left to right, in Pool Party, Pumice Stone, and Real Red inks, on White, cardstock die cuts and popped off the card face with foam tape.
I then hand-penned in their strings and tossed a bunch of silver sequins amidst them to complete the look.
Inspiration for this card came from a new-to-me Always Playing with Paper Challenge #30.
Thanks so much for peeking in, friends! Have a wonderful day, and a big happy birthday, Dad! I love you!
