Transparent Birthday Balloons Card (LMMS Challenge #158)


Hi everyone! :o)


It's time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge Blog. It's #158, Anything Goes Challenge.

For this challenge I made this CAS (clean and simple), Transparent Birthday Balloons Card. :o)


This is my first ever transparent card. LOVE!!! :o)

To make this card I used an adorable LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Celebrate Balloons' rubber stamp. :o)

The image is paper pieced.

stamped the image four times on a Canson Mixed Media Paper. I colored pieces I needed in watercolor technique using Distress Inks and left one image uncolored. I fussy cut parts I needed and colored their edges with black marker.

Then I stamped the image one more time on a top folded acetate card base and left it dry for a while. I traced balloons' strings with a superfine black permanent pen and glued colored pieces over it. I glued uncolored pieces on inside the card base to hide lines and to look more pretty.

And here I stopped. I colored the image couple month ago, in November 2016. I liked it, but had no idea how to finish my card. I tried this and that and didn't like anything, so I left it in my "unfinished projects box" and waited for the right moment. It was this week. :o)

I drew a line frame with a fine black permanent pen, stamped sentiment 'happy birthday' from a Mama Elephant 'Starry Night' stamp set on the card and left it dry for an hour. Lastly, I embellished the card with matching enamel dots and my card was finished, after nearly 4 months. LOL :o)


Card dimensions: 90 mm x 129 mm (3 1/2" x 5 1/8")
