Hi! I’m back today with a quick post with my balloons card for this week’s sketch challenge at Cards Colours & Sketches.

Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my card:

First, I masked the horizontal strip and applied Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink.

Then, I used the Big Balloons stencil from My Favorite Things with distress oxide inks to add the balloons. The colors blended too well and were less clear, so I traced the balloons with a black Sharpie marker. The tracing wasn’t perfect, but I think it saved the card 🙂

The sentiment is from an old stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I used it a couple of times in the past, and you can find an example here.

To finish my card, I added sequins in matching colors to the balloons, and I also used my white gel pen on each balloon for the “shine”:

I really like how this card turned out 🙂 I hope you liked it too, please leave me a comment if you did like it!

Thank you for stopping by today!
