Birthday theme time at Retro Rubber

 If there is one type of card everyone needs it is a birthday card, so here is a challenge to add one to your stash OR have ready to send tomorrow!  Join us at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!

 

I was inspired by the balloons in the inspiration to use a set I have had since Sept of 2017 and have played with only a time or two.  It is Concord & 9th's Happy Balloons Stamp and Die Set.  

•  What is really fun about this set Happy Balloons is that you can stamp designs or solids and create cute balloons.  I used the solid and one that creates dimension in the balloon.  The balloon image is stamped on vellum in Memento Cantaloupe, and then the texture layer is stamped over the image several times to create darker dots.  The image is die cut with the matching die. 
• Melon colored cardstock is die cut to create the balloon outline, banner and string.
• Birthday is stamped in Memento Morocco on the banner and then the images are adhered together.
• The background is stamped in Memento Teal Zeal on teal cardstock.  
• The edges of the card base are inked in Memento Morocco.
• All the layers are adhered together, and TaaDaa a quick birthday card!  

Please do join us over at Retro Rubber and play along!
