Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I am sharing my first play with the gorgeous Berry Botanical Vellum, our June product of the month. I have used it with the Balloon Festoon stamp set and dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

I created the Berry Botanical Balloons card using the following supplies:

Strawberry Slush card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞” on the short side
Misty Moonlight – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Strawberry Slush – 2” by 1½”
Misty Moonlight – 2½” by ½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Berry Botanical Vellum, Basic White, Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight

 

Using the So Swirly Embossing Folder I embossed the 2” by 1½” piece of Basic White card and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Strawberry Slush card front.

I used the Balloon Festoon dies to die cut the second smallest balloon from the scrap of Berry Botanical Vellum. I die cut the same balloon from scrap Basic White card and adhered them together with a little Seal.
