Soaring By To Say Happy Birthday! blue

It is always fun making a birthday card to match a theme. In this case I was shown a birthday party invite for a toddlers party, but asked to make it a bit 'classy'. Hopefully this delivers! I used:

• Papermilldirect Celestial Blue Plain Card & Card Blank
• Papermilldirect Kraft Card
• Papermilldirect Rose Gold Non Shedding Glitter Card
• Papermilldirect Burgundy Sirio Pearl Card
• Papermilldirect Sage Sirio Pearl Card
• Papermilldirect Hammered White Card

I cut all my card elements out with my Silhouette cutting machine. I then took my hot air balloons and created a two tone pallet for them both, with the Rose Gold as the common thread. I also added my 'snow' onto my mountains.

Once all these elements were assembled I did a test layout on my card. I cut a panel of the Celestial Blue card and laid it on the Celestial Blue card blank, and laid out all the pieces. It felt like something was missing however, so....

I took some Broken China Distress Ink and inked up a graduated sky. It still needed a bit more, so I used a Shimmer Mist to give it some sparkle and texture.

Once this panel was dry I adhered my mountains. I put them on offset, and trimmed off the excess.

All I had to do then was use foam tape to add on all the rest of the elements to really let them pop on the sky.

This was a very fun card to make, and the sparkle in real life is perfect!
