When I saw several challenges featuring Balloons, I decided to use Copper Foil with my brand-spanking-new Pinkfresh Studio Make a Wish BetterPress Plate (I was thrilled when I saw you could also use it with the Glimmer Foil Machine, which is what I did for my card).
I attached two strips of metallic copper cardstock to the ivory card base, and then I trimmed down the Balloon panel and framed it with the same cardstock, for a clean & simple masculine design. I attached the balloon panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension.
I'm linking my card up for Code Word Balloons at Addicted to CAS.
I'm also linking-up at Just Add Ink with my Balloons & Birthday.
And lastly, with my Copper Foil & Copper Cardstock, I'm linking-up at Seize the Birthday Use Metallics.
How fabulous Stef, such a great card. Thank you for joining in at Just Add Ink.
I’m sure your metallic foiling has a wonderful shimmer, so perfect for a birthday card. Thanks for joining our challenge at Just Add Ink this week.
