Yippee-Skippee it's time for another challenge with
my wonderful & talented friends Buffy and Susan.
Today, we are challenging ourselves to use balloons.
SU is offering 3-4 new balloon sets, so we can pick our fav.
I really like Balloon Builders set on page 14 of the Occasions Mini. Paired with the Balloon Bouquet Punch on page 13,
it allows you to make balloons in a snap. Balloon Builders
also enables you to make balloon animals!
In this sample, I created a bunch of balloons, in 2 different
sizes and 3 colors (Crumb Cake, Pacific Point and Mossy
Meadow), keeping it kind of masculine. Obviously changing up
the colors would create cards for many different events.
I wanted to create a balloon wreath.
I stamped my sentiment in the center of a 2 1/2 inch
circle and layered the balloons, starting with the 4 larger ones.
Once assembled, I positioned the balloon wreath over a
strip of Mossy Meadow, embossed with the
Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.
I could have raised balloons on dimensionals,
but was sort of concerned about
positioning so arranged them as shown.
