DT: Addicted to stamps and more- any occasion #474

I actually made this card in June for Amelia’s birthday in July but only blogging now as I decided it should be a design team card!

This is the last of the 18th cards that I’ve been making for the last 12 months as all my daughter’s friends have now reached adulthood!

I made this one from us, because I made one I’ve already shared from the daughter to her friend.

I decided to go bright and shiny with the waffleflower balloons and the sentiment.

After die cutting the balloons I added the colours using distress inks and then did lots of splattering using both the inks and some shimmer paints… so this got messy but the die cut against the white background still looks clean and modern.

I used the same inks to blend a panel of cardstock before die cutting the sentiment out so it would match.

I decided to then create a panel for the sentiment to sit on so it could be seen clearer and punched a circle from the leftover blended background for the sparkly stickers to sit on for her age.

I raised them up on foam so they sit proud of the balloons. 🎈

I then added the little sparkly circles that were leftovers from the zero waste leaf die panel I used for her other card.

Love this bright and cheerful card.

Happy crafting!
