Welcome
I am happy to share my news that I am now on the DT for
This is my first post for their Anything Goes Challenge #17, starting today.
I started with the Memory Box Grand Happy Birthday Die, cutting it from a scrap of blue card I had on my desk.
I then embossed some white card, sponged it with distress inks in a rainbow fashion, then sprayed it with some silver shimmer spray.
Some balloons were punched using a greatly under-used punch that languishes in a cubby hole - it was very pleased to feature here!
The balloons were then coated with glossy accents, and some thread attached
The thread was very fine, and once I assembled the card, tucking it under the feature panel, it did not show up. Some heavier thread was added, with much difficulty, twisted around the narrow thread, and then tied in a knot at the base - ahh - a good save.
