It's rather dull here again today yet when I got up this morning it was glorious sunshine. Just shows close your eyes for a second and the weather can change just like that.
The card I have for you today is again a nice easy one, and retired products can be swapped out for similar stamps in the current catalogue.
The thumping technique is so easy to do!!
First ink up your stamp with the base colour (for me that was powder pink) then using a different colour marker (for me it was balmy blue) gently tap up and down randomly across the base colour and then stamp.
I used whisper white thick card for the base and the mat is normal whisper white die cut using the balloon die, stamped, daubed with the stars using the mask and then embossed using the subtle's embossing folder.
The cat was shaded using watercolor pencils and then brushed out with an aqua painter. It was at this stage I embossed the mat. A bakers twine bow was then placed at the bottom of the balloon. I used our foam adhesive strips round the edge of the circle for height and placed the sequins on the base card and pressed down.
The party hat was stamped coloured, fussy cut and then a glitter enamelled dot used as the pompom.
Sorry the Granddaughter sentiment is not an SU product and it was this I stamped with powder pink and thumped with balmy blue.
Just hope she likes it!!
Must go, as I've to get ready now for Evie's birthday celebration.
