We're celebrating the birthday of my adorable grandson shortly, which naturally necessitates a card handmade by nana. I had already made the focal feature - his favourite character from the Bluey world - but when I saw the pick two options at Time Out challenges they inspired an idea for the rest of the card...
My picks were rainbow and star.
The background segments were coloured using distress inks then given a spritz of mica stain matching the silver of the 'mylar' balloons. Tons of shine when they catch the light! A white frame was a bit wishy-washy but the darker colour makes everything pop. The gift box was cut from scraps of smooshed card to match the balloon colours.
As this is for my grandson and features a dog, I'm also entering it in The Male Room challenge
Materials used:
- dies - Postage Collage Blocks (Waffle Flower), Seasonal Decor (Spellbinders), Bluey, balloons (stash)
- distress inks - candied apple, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, blueprint sketch, wilted violet, peacock feathers, picked raspberry, dried marigold, antique linen
- other - frozen fog mica stain (Tim Holtz), Dimensionals, Big Shot, blending brushes, craft foam
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Kerry

Super fun card which I’m sure your grandson will love. Thanks for playing along with The Male Room. X
Oooh.. I love it - Bingo looks cute! Bluey is my current favourite cartoon to watch. My son is 10, but I think this cartoon is timeless. I enjoy their dad's playful nature so much. I am so sure - your grandson will love that Bongo has got him balloons. And how you tied the challenge around it -is just genius. Love your interpretation and the card. Thank you for joining us at Time out challenges. Hugs ~ Ishani
