Annabelle Stamps wants to see male cards this week.
Do You Stack Up has a fun "Duo" theme challenge.
So I made this card for my husband's uncle whose birthday is coming up.
Layered three strips of patterned paper. My paper cutter blade is a little dull so the edges look distressed which I like for this card.
I made the gift with patterned paper and a stencil. I thought it looked like wrapping paper. I edged it in white ink to help it pop a little. I made a bow out of silver glittery ribbon. Clearly I need to look up how to make a bow next time!
Balloons were in a little package of die cuts. I added the embroidery floss for the strings.
Finished with a little happy birthday stamped sentiment from Leisure Arts.
Thanks for swinging by!
What a fun card. Love the balloons.
