For my card, I started with a clean white card base and added a kraft embossed panel from the stack of papers I am working on using up this year. The texture of the kraft layer gives the background a warm, rustic feel that works beautifully with the rest of the design.
Next, I die cut the balloon pieces and brought them to life with a mix of sponging and Copics to add depth and soft shading. The finished balloon is popped up on dimensionals for lift, and I tucked a small cloud underneath to create a simple, airy scene.
To finish the card, I added a straightforward birthday greeting at the bottom, also popped up on dimensionals, giving the design a clean and balanced final touch.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.
Lovely clean design, the embossed panel draws the eye in to the fab die cut balloon.
