Today is the second birthday of a darling little girl, Eva. I had a lot of fun creating a card for her, using a couple NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) products. One of them is new; the other I’ve had for awhile.
I started by die cutting Mama Elephant’s “Cloudy Day Cover” on white cardstock, blending Distress Inks with the wonderful “Life Changing Blender Brushes.” They do make ink blending so much easier! I masked off the edge of the die to create a narrow white frame. This die cut has been on my wish list for awhile, and I found it at the Buffalo stamp store on our way home from Racine last month.
The fun hot-air balloons and kitty are from My Favorite Things, “Up in the Air.” MFT has so many cute sets for kids, and whenever they have a good sale, I try to pick up one. This one I’ve had for several months, and hadn’t had a chance to use it. Eva has a kitty at home, so I chose that to put in the big balloon.
All the images were colored with Copics on X-Press Blending paper, and then fussy cut. The sentiment comes from the same MFT set.
A little dimension was added by using dimensional tape on the lower two balloons. Here’s hoping Eva likes the card.
Happy Birthday Miss Eva. I think the kitty in the hot air balloon is adorable. The Happy Birthday is a nice crisp resentment – I like that style.
Cute, cute, cute! Your two year-old Eva will enjoy the kitty getting a ride! I’m intrigued by the blending brushes, now to cough up $ for another tool. 😉
Who wouldn’t love that? The clouds are great!
Very, very cute! I am sure Eva will love it. Your shading of the clouds is just perfection. I haven’t heard of the Blender Brushes before – off to google. Always so inspiring, popping in here :).
