So fun and peppy, huh?! I watercolored the balloons for a more muted color. But here are the official colors for this challenge!
I love how these colors look together! Now ... have to admit ... I used the Floral & Gingham Vellum for the background to this card. I felt like I have to admit that because the blue on that vellum is actually Pool Party. But ... I felt like it matched with the watercolored Balmy Blue balloon quite nicely. 😃 So just a reminder that these challenges are a jumping off point meant to inspire. They don't have to be set in stone. (Or paper in this case. Hee.)A few more shots of the details of this card:
A few notes on the card: - The balloons and greeting are stamped in VersaMark ink & then embossed with black embossing powder. I love embossing before watercoloring & I love embossing in general. 😀
- I purposefully tried to leave a little splatter of the black embossing powder so I could have some black embossed splatter on the balloons.
- The balloons & greeting are fussy cut out.
- The vellum patterned paper is just adhered to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue so you don't see it through the vellum.
One more look at the full card! I really love how cheery it all came together. This would be a fun card to make in lots of different color combos! 💖
