I've only played with Sweet Sunday Sketches once before and that was waaaay back in January. It's another one of those sites that I look at every week but rarely get around to playing along with - probably due to my sketch allergy! :) I'm also finally getting organised enough to play along with Friends With Flair over at the Unity Blog. I'm so excited to be linking up with the fun! I dug out these long forgotten Doodlebug papers to make a rainbow background and paper piece the balloons. I punched both sides of a strip of cardstock with the Fiskars Threading Water border punch to make the central strip and then I added some Glossy accents to the balloons. I love the bright cheeriness of this card and one can never have too many birthday cards on hand! Supplies Used: Cardstock: (White) Bazzill Basics, (Black) Paco Patterned Paper: Doodlebug Stamps: (Image and sentiment from February 2011 KOM - The Best Is Yet To Be) Unity Stamp Co Ink: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko Punches: (Threading Water border punch) Fiskars, (Corner punch) Marvy Uchida Other: Glossy Accents
Is that Design Paper I see? It's super awesome! Oh, and I've got something for that 'sketch allergy' if you need it. You seem to be doing just great. This card is so fun and bright, of course I love it!!
FABULOUS card!!! I love what you have done with the ballooons....from the paper piecing to the glossy accents...they look INCREDIBLE!!! I am still giggling at the 'sketch allergy'...lol..I think I may have one too ;) Thank you for the love on my blog....Badabing sends a ton of tail wags to you :D
A sketch allergy? Hee hee! I LOVE your card, Jen! The rainbows, the balloons, the cute strip of black...it all works really well together. Yeah--you rocket it!
Sketch allergy? LOL I think I have the same affliction. :P This is just gorgeous! I need to experiment more with my papers. I'm loving those paper pieced balloons!!
Balloons make EVERYTHING better, don't they? I want balloons on my bike. Maybe then it would be more fun to ride? I love the rainbow colours, and the paper piecing...yum. BTW, nice to know that I'm not the only one who's allergic to sketches. Some folks just love them, and they make me feel...meh.
