I stamped the balloons in Versafine Black Onyx ink and used my craft knife to cut out the inside of each balloon. I then marked the openings on a scrap piece of card stock and used that as I guide where to adhere my sequins down. I used Summer Sun, Perfectly Purple and Summer Sky satin sequins. The front panel is popped up with foam adhesive to stand away from the sequins a bit. I stamped out the sentiment and fussy cut it out and popped it up over the balloon strings. I wanted to keep the card very neutral so the balloons would pop. Well not literally of course. :) I think this is a card that could be used for anyone just change the colors to fit the appropriate recipient.
Have a great day!
Love it! Such a bright 'pop' of colours with those fun sequins.
