Hello cardmaking friends! I hope you are doing well! I have a classy birthday card where I did the paper tole technique.
Basically, I stamped that hot air balloon three times on my patterned paper. I then cut out each section of the balloon, and layered them. I use fun foam to pop them up. I find it is a little thinner than foam tape so it is not so thick in the envelope, but it is nice and dimensional! However, this is probably a card I would hand-deliver rather than mail.
The background was watercolored using ink from my Distress Oxide inkpads. It is lovely and smooth and has a nice matte finish.
Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber stamps Hot Air Balloon, May All Your Wishes sentiment. Versafine Onyx Black ink, Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch, peacock feathers, Watercolor paper, Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Rectangles die, other items from my stash.
Thanks you so much for your kind comments!
