Tutorial

1. Trim a piece of Thicker Whisper Cardstock to 21 x 14.8 cms; score the long side at 10.5 cms; fold and burnish (Card Base)

2. Trim a piece of regular Whisper White Cardstock measuring 14 x 9.7 cms

3. Stamp a sky background using the cloud stamp in Soft Sky classic ink pad.

Now for the three Step Stamping:
(a) Begin with the small balloon outline stamp, & Stamp 4 x using the Blushing Bride Classic Ink Pad; & 3 times using the So Saffron Classic Ink Pad
(b) Next, stamp the solid small balloon stamp and over stamp the outlines using the same ink pads in step (a)
(c) Now over-stamp the balloons using the small half balloon stamp with lots of fine dots; again using the same two ink pads.
4. Before punching out the balloons, add a fine layer of glitter using the Wink of Stella pen. This will only take a few moments to dry
5. Stamp your sentiment in the bottom right corner of the cardstock using Smokey Slate Classic Ink Pad
6. Punch out the balloons using the Balloon Punch
7. Arrange your balloons over the stamped sky background, using a combination of Fast Fuse (or tombow) and Stampin Dimensionals (the Stampin Dimensionals will pop up some of the balloons for added interest.)
8. If you want a little embellishment add a few 'Its My Party' Enamel Dots.
