To recreate the trio of balloons card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Scrap Basic White

Using Post It tape I masked off a 1½” strip on the Thick Basic White card front. A Blending Brush was used to apply Balmy Blue ink in the negative space on the card front.

With the Post It mask still in place I stamped the ‘ground’ image from the In The Grove stamp set across the bottom in Gray Granite ink. The masking strips were then peeled off.

The sentiment, from the Encircled in Nature stamp set was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto the Thick Basic White card front. Sadly, I stamped it squint…….. so I stamped it again in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Basic White card and glued it over the mistake!

Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to the centre of the 4¼” by 3” panel of Basic White card. I stamped the ‘ground’ image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added the sentiment, from the Simply Said stamp set, in Balmy Blue ink below. The panel was then glued to the card front.

The image of the teapot was stamped onto a scrap of Fresh As A Daisy dsp using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The leafy spray was stamped on scrap Basic White card with the same ink. Both pieces were then die cut using the Country Flowers Dies.
