Rainbow Balloon Birthday Card

 I started by blending distress oxide inks on a white panel in rainbow order.

Colours used were picked raspberry,  carved pumpkin,  fossilised amber, twisted citron, salty ocean and wilted violet. I then splattered with perfect pearls. For more sparkle, the panel could have been sprayed with perfect pearl solution but I only thought of that while writing this post.

Using the second largest balloon from Paper rose Studio nesting balloons, I cut the balloon from the middle of the rainbow panel.

The panel was adhered directly to the card base and the balloon was adhered using foam tape. 

Using Paper Rose Studio Large Happy Birthday die, I cut 2 heavy weight white and 1 silver and then stacked them to make a thicker die cut. This was then adhered to the balloon.  I drew in a balloon string using a sparkle gelly roll pen.

I finished with some pretty stars that were from an old Hero Arts kit and, using a small balloon stamp from another Hero Arts kit, I stamped a rainbow of balloons inside the card.

Thanks for stopping by,
