Sunny Studio - Rainbow Bright Balloons

Hey there,

I'm so happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this bright and cheerful birthday card showcasing some Bright Balloons. Once again I went for a rainbow theme, definitely a safe bet to make someone smile, and I started off by creating the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Quilted Heart Landscape panel, and used blue oxide inks to color it: salty ocean + blueprint sketch + chipped sapphire. As always I added splatters on my panel to make it less flat: chipped sapphire + water splatters, and white ink + water splatters.

Once my Quilted Heart Landscape panel was dry, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of a rainbow pattern paper from the Spring Fling paper pack, and I attached my Quilted Heart panel on top using 1mm foam squares.

Next I cut three round shaped balloons and two oval shaped balloons using dies from Bright Balloons. I used another rainbow pattern paper from the Spring Fling paper pack to cut them all, and to really make them stand out on the blue background, I cut additional balloons out of gold glitter cardstock. I stuck a gold glitter balloon behind each rainbow balloon, and I attached them on my panel using foam squares.

To make the balloons pop even more, I cut the highlight details out of white cardstock using dies from Bright Balloons, and I gave each balloon its own highlights. And I also wanted to add a string below each balloon, so I used a die from Comic Strip Everyday to cut five light grey strings that I glued on the panel using liquid glue.

For my sentiment, I started by cutting a black banner using a die from Notebook Photo Corners, I white heat embossed the "Floating by to say happy birthday" greeting from Floating by on it, and then I attached the banner on my panel right below the balloons using 1mm foam squares. And finally I glued a few golden heart sequins here and there to bring even more shine to my card.
