I've owned the Year Two stamp set from Lawn Fawn for years now but had never used it until this week. Now that I see how absolutely adorable it is I will definitely be using it again soon! I also had another revelation during this crafting session...I need the Party Ballon dies! Can you tell what I used to create my faux balloons?
To start off, I used distress inks in Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, and Chipped Sapphire to create a smooshed watercolor background. While that was drying I stamped my turtles from Year Two and colored them with copics before fussy-cutting them. Next I die-cut the round stitched tag dies and cut off the bottom of each die to create my "balloon." I colored them with copics and then stamped the sentiment inside. To finish the card I tied black twine bows to each balloon and used more twine and foam mounting tape to adhere the turtles and balloons to the watercolored background.

ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable.
turtles or snails are just perfect for a belated card, yours is super cute, wouldn't the balloons make them faster? i would like a stampset with a hare, so you can send birthday cards early (before you forget) and blame it on the hare ;-)
