For my card, I started with a bold and colorful background, stamping a balloon-filled design onto an A2-sized panel in a gradient of Taffy, Lemon Drop, Splash, and Thistle Reactive Inks. Then, I added a touch of magic by using water and a paintbrush to fill in each balloon, creating a soft, ombre effect.
After trimming the panel down to 3.25″x4.5″, I combined it with a striking Congrats! word die cut, layered on top of a piece of Amethyst cardstock. To finish the design, I added a few bright enamel dots and popped the entire piece up on a card base using foam tape.
