Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! It’s time for a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and this week we have a color challenge! 🤩 I created a fun cascading balloons card and I hope you’ll like it.

(Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. You can find the products that I used in the text below and also at the end of the post. Thank you!)

Check out the pretty color combination that Nancy chose for us this week!

I decided to combine the color challenge with the latest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches:

Here’s my card!

Cascading Balloons Card 2

First, I stamped the three balloons. I used the smaller balloon stamp from the Happy Balloons stamp set from Concord & 9th. (That stamp set is sadly no longer available, but it’s an old favorite of mine. I used it a few months ago, click here if you want to see that card.)

To match the sketch outline, I stamped the balloons in a cascading layout, and then stamped the “celebrate” overlay on the middle one. That was my initial idea for the card, but I wanted to add more interest to each balloon…

So on the top right balloon, I stamped “let’s”. That word is actually a part from a larger stamp, that’s part of the Pop-Up Par-Tay stamp set from Concord & 9th. I got that stamp set as part of the SCT Crop & Create Delivered Cardmaking event on March, and it’s just so cute!! 😍

On the bottom right balloon, I added a “you” die cut that also came with the event kit.

That created the sentiment “Let’s celebrate you” on the cascading balloons, and I just love the look of it on the card!

I really like that each balloon has a completely different look, thanks to the different “accents” on each one of them. 🙂 What did you think? Do you like this look too?

Happy Tuesday! ❤️

    The balloons are just perfect for the sketch and customising your sentiment across the trio was a great way to add interest without compromising on the CAS look and feel – I love it Michal! I’m also in awe of the lovely solid colour of your balloons; I have a different set with a solid balloon, but they never seem to give such a smoothly inked finish!

      Thank you so much Joanne! I find that it really depends on the inks when I stamp solid images – Gina K, MFT and Altenew are great for solid images. Other inks create splotchy images (at least for me…)
