Purple balloons

Hi everyone,

Well it's been a while since I posted here as I was on vacation for a month in Hawaii visiting my daughter, son-in-law and new baby granddaughter. I think I have withdrawal symptoms from holding my adorable, sweet granddaughter and I wish I was still there. Needless to say their were lots of tears. Since returning here to Montreal the weather has not been that great. The sun is shining today but it is  only +4Celcius. Not the beautiful 80+ degrees of Hawaii.

Oh well. Back to it. I actually created this card before leaving but never had a chance to post it. The current challenge over at Simon Says Stamp is 'Anything Goes'. Details are on the blog here. It is also for the current SSSflickrchallenge#120 where the theme is also 'Anything Goes'.

The stencil background was creating by using different colours of ink and Neat and Tangled's balloon stencil.

The background was die cut using a Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die.

I die cut the sentiment several times with white cardstock and adhered it to a black die cut piece. I added some sparkle to the black piece with a Nuvo shimmer pen.

I added strips of washi tape to the card base and then adhered my panel.

Well that's it for this card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Neat & Tangled Balloon Duo stencil

Neat & Tangled Hooray word stamps and die set
