That's right, I made two this month. I had extra time to play today, so why not ink up stamps that were being neglected? I again used stamps from the Head to Soul KOM. The balloons were just screaming to be paper pieced, so I went for it. Here is the sketch.
I started with an extra half of Bazzil card stock. It was one I had picked up for St Pat's day. There is a texture and a pearl type finish. A layer of white card was next, followed by a scrap of BG Picadilly. Each was attacked with the 1/2" corner rounder. More scraps of Picadilly and Indie Bloom were used for the balloons. I gave them strings of hemp twine and a bakers twine bow. My 1/4 " punch made the little brad type circles, and I added the birthday sentiment from the same kit.
Just a simple creation, but sometimes I like simple best. Be sure to visit the
