Sorry I was absent a couple of days. We are still cleaning out our old house. My goodness the things we save!! LOL!! But I have a quick and shiny card to share with you today. This one is using a stamp set that I fell in love with immediately and it did not seem to be on other folk’s radar at all. So please let me know what you think.

The photography did not agree with the silver foil of the DSP. That is where the rainbow colors came in. It is really just silver foil in this gorgeous DSP.

Addressed To You

This fun name is actually the name of the stamp set. It is made to use on a card, but also has lines and an oval for stamping on envelopes for addresses. How cool is that!! I wanted a simple card and loved these little balloons.

The sentiment is also part of the stamp set. It is two separate stamps. The Happy works with another stamp as well. Even though the blue of the paper is Balmy Blue, I added some brightness by using Azure Afternoon. I love how it turned out.

Paper

The gorgeous Designer Series Paper is aptly named at Splash of Sparkles. It has silver foil mixed with the great colors on one side and then fun swirls of colors on the other. You will soon see the opposite sides and they are just as pretty.

To pair with the DSP I chose Pretty In Pink as the card base. The DSP section I chose to use has more blue than pink so I thought the pink was the way to go.

Extras

To create the circle for my sentiment and balloons I went the simple, old-fashioned way and used a circle punch. This is the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. EXCEPT: I did not punch out the circle. At least not the one that is one the card. I used the negative of the circle to create a template to then use blending brushes to make my blue background. After stamping the balloons and sentiment, I used Paper Snips to fussy cut my circle. All of this was so the balloons could extend outside of the circle. Yes, I know I could have fussy cut the balloons but I wanted to be different.LOL!!

The final touch is the Petunia Pop Marker that I used around the circle to highlight it. This is something I love to do when you really do not want to add another layer. It is so quick and easy as well! And then Petunia Pop Iridescent Ribbon for a lot of texture. Finally the Sparkle Dot Essentials for some more bling! These dots are really nice and have a good bit of sparkle. Plus they are almost flat which is a super win in my book.
