Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing background techniques. I have used the Balloon Festoon stamp set and dies to make my card.
Colours used to make this card are:
I created the meadow easel card using the following supplies:
Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Coastal Cabana – 4¼” by 2½”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2⅜”
Scrap Pool Party & Coastal Cabana
I love taking a single image from a stamp set and using it to create a background for my focal image.
I took the long streamer image and stamped it in alternating Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana ink. I rotated the image to vary the stamping.

The stamped panel was then adhered to the larger Coastal Cabana card. A length of retired Daffodil Delight ribbon was wrapped around the panel before it was glued to the Thick Basic White card front.
I stamped the confetti image multiple times in 2nd generation Daffodil Delight ink in the upper left corner of the smaller piece of Basic White card.

The sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set was stamped on the same panel with Melon Mambo ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the smaller panel of Coastal Cabana card which was added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

The star image was stamped, several times in Coastal Cabana ink on a scrap of Pool Party card. The balloon was then die cut from this stamped piece. I also die cut a balloon strip from scrap Coastal Cabana card and adhered the two together. The balloon was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A ribbon bow and a trio of pink sequins finished the card.
