Balloon Best Wishes

This card has a few different stamp companies on it. For instance the balloon stamp by Unity, background stamp from Prickley Pear and the sentiment stamp is by Just Rite.

I'll start by telling you about the background. It is a stamp with about 4 or 5 circle stamps in a row. I continuously stamped them in a line up and down the white cardstock using Stampin up Bermuda Bay ink. I thought, at the time, that it was too bright so I covered the entire cardstock with silver andirondack paint. Well then I really didn't like it so it sat in the ugly bin for over a year. Then recently I pulled it back out and was able to match it up with some fun embellishments that really made that background look a little bit more muted then before.

I die cut the shape/label from my Cricut and inked the edges with distress ink and an ink blender. I stamped the balloon in a caramel color by Stampin Up. I was able to match up this perfect MyMind's Eye patterned paper at the bottom of the card base. Layered on top of the paper is a felt scalloped ribbon by Prima and the aqua ribbon is by Stampin Up. I placed a Sticko button sticker on the left. The clouds in the sky are a Marvy punch that I put Stickles on and then popped up with foam adhesive. 

Thanks for looking.
