Good morning!! I'll be quick today with my post! I wanted to share a card I made for the weekly challenge on the LateNightStampers group!! Our challenge was to use our chalks!! I know I don't pull them out as often as I should--they are so versatile!!! Anyway, here's my card:
Isn't this the cutest idea?!! Okay, it wasn't my idea, but I took it and ran! I used one of the oval shapes from the Pumpkin Patch stamp set in the Holiday Not-so-Mini Catalog!! Yep, it's a pumpkin-turned-balloon!! I stamped the "balloon" three times, using Versamark ink. Then, using sponge daubers, I "colored" in using chalks! I used Glorious Green, Lovely Lilac and Real Red--I love how vibrant the colors came out! I used the same colors of cardstock, then layered them all up! The ribbon is our new Polka Dot Real Red Grosgrain! I liked out the dots matched the dots in the balloons!! The sentiment is from the Heard from the Heart stamp set.
Have a blessed day!
Very clever idea! I like how bold yet soft the "balloons" look. Fabulous card, Tammy.
