Using Red - Balloons for a birthday

Published by bronih at 9:22 am under Card Designs, Challenges, Papertrey Ink, Splitcoaststampers, birthday

Today’s Ways to Use It challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use red. I can do that!

This card was made as a birthday card for a child who loves balloons, but I don’t see why an adult wouldn’t love it too! Using the Everyday Button Bits stamp set from Papertrey Ink, I created the little scene. Then I die cut some “hot air balloons” using oval Nestabilties. I stitched the seams on the large balloon and then tied on some embroidery floss.

And here’s the inside - a different set of balloons:

Thanks so much for dropping by! And thanks, Julia, for the fun challenge!

Stamps: Everyday Button Bits - Papertrey Ink
Paper: aqua mist, spring moss - Papertrey Ink, red, Basic Grey patterned paper
Ink: Memento - tuxedo black
Other: oval Nestabilities, sewing machine, DMC floss - white, foam tape
