Hello and Happy Birthday America, it's the 4th of July! It's a busy Monday so let's get started. Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge round at The Inspiration Station and the inspiration picture is:
How cool is this...it's America's Birthday and the picture features a birthday party in progress. This inspired me to create what else but a birthday card! I dug deep in the stash for this card.
The embossing folder is from Darice; it's not a 3-D folder..just one of those "old-fashioned" folders...LOL...use what ya got I say and my stash needs love. The balloon dies were gifted to me long ago when I first started this card making adventure. The sentiment die was a Christmas Prezzie a few years ago from a swap buddy. The designer papers are from the Birthday Essentials paper pack by Kat Scrappiness. Remember when Baker's Twine was all the rage? Well, I still love using it!
I've inked over the embossed panel with Catherine Pooler It's a Boy Blue ink, the 2 small balloons are popped on craft foam for dimension and no proper birthday card would be complete without some sequins; which were added here and there.
Please visit and join in the fun at The Inspiration Station. Let's see your "Celebrate" themed projects!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
