Balloons – InKing Royalty Blog Hop
CLICK TO PRINT
Welcome to InKing Royalty's February Blog Hop! During this year's blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month's projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Today's project features the So Much Happy Bundle paired with the Balloon Bouquet Punch!
I just LOVE how the ‘HAPPY' die works! This won't be the last time you see me use this die. I love how you can cut ‘HAPPY' horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For this card, I opted to cut it horizontally to go with the lines from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper!
Purple is my favorite color, so I went with shades of it for this card – pulling inspiration from the Designer Series Paper as I often do! The balloons come from the Balloon Bouquet Punch, but there are slightly smaller balloons in the Happy Dies!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Joanne Brown at The Inky Dragon. There's lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don't want to miss it!
