Balloon Party (Handmade Card)

Hi friends,

This Balloon Party Background stamp from Unity Stamp Company is so fun! You can use it in so many different ways – add other stamped images over the top using foam tape, add die cut words, add Diamond Glaze to one or more of the balloons, spotlight color one or 2 balloons, or color them like I did in these cards and add a sentiment as the focal point.

I stamped the balloon image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock using my Misti stamping tool. I love using this tool for larger stamps because if something doesn’t stamp well the first time, all you have to do is re-ink the stamp and stamp it again. It will be perfectly lined up with the first time you stamped it! If you have or are getting a Misti, I recommend getting one of these pressure tools to go with it – it helps so much with stamping larger images. I colored the balloons with Copic markers. You can see the colors I used in the photo below.

I die cut around the balloon background using the Scallops & Rectangles Nesting Dies from Unity Stamp Company. Then I stamped “happy birthday” in the balloon with black ink. That stamp is in the Rainbow Birthday set from Unity. Of course you can use any sentiment you have in your collection. The piece is layered to coordinating card stock and attached to a white card with foam tape.

This is such a fun image to color – the possibilities are endless! These 2 color combos that I used are great for masculine cards, which can sometimes be challenging to make. 😉

What color will you use on your Balloon Party Background stamp?
