This month we are happy to showcase artwork incorporating the February Stamp of the Month, "Balloon Animals". It is this fun stamp set that is perfect for birthdays or celebrating that special something in your life. Don't tell anyone but I bought a kit one time, many years ago, so I could make my own balloon animals. Yes, I sure did! You can get this stamp set for $5 this month, with a $50 purchase! It is valued at $17.95. Click here for those details.
If you are coming from Melinda's Blog, you are on the right track. In fact, you can also find a complete list of participants on her blog should you get lost along the way. So...let's get started!
Random-stamping a background is one of my all-time fave techniques. Doing so allows you to make a patterned paper of your choosing and that is just what I did here with the "Let's Celebrate" sentiment. The Lagoon sheet of paper in the background is from the Fundamentals line and has some clear embossed texture on it (not so easy to see in the photo).
The details of this card are pretty simple, adding some Silver Sequins and Silver Shimmer Trim. Ink colors used for this card were Whisper, Lagoon, Black, and Thistle.Thanks for taking a moment to stop by and now head on over to Michelle's Blog to see what she designed using this stamp set.
Happy hoppin'!
