Bold is Beautiful

Today I'm playing along with the current Just Us Girls challenge.


For my card I used bold colours and a bold stamp for the sentiment. 


I die-cut the balloon border first, along with extras of the heart and small round balloons, and chose a palette of bold colours fresh enough to brighten anyone's day. That's mounted with foam onto my base and then it all received a liberal spritz with shimmer mist, so there's a lovely shine everywhere. My sentiment was stamped and cut before adding and the final touch was some glitter card stars. A very simple card that gives a bold wow!

Materials used:
  • stamps - Your Day sentiments combo (Waffle Flower)
  • dies - Balloon Frame (Waffle Flower)
  • distress inks - picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, peacock feathers, wilted violet
  • other - Big Shot, blending brushes, shimmer mist, MISTI, white gel pen, foam squares

Have a good day and thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kerry
