It’s Your Day Above The Clouds

Here’s another of my masculine cards from the August Monthly Card Class.  The mission was to have a collection of cards suitable for Father’s Day or birthdays, and this one works for either:

This is a CASE of Bronwyn Eastly‘s project shown at OnStage Live in New Zealand.   I changed the colour used for one of the large balloons, and the sentiment to fit the brief.

Using the 2 ½” Circle Punch to make a window in the front of the card base is an easy way to add a lot of interest to an otherwise simple card design.  Since we used Stampin’ Blends to colour the small balloons on the inside, we stamped them on a separate panel of Whisper White cut slightly smaller than the base and glued it in place so that the colouring wouldn’t bleed through the back panel of the base.

​Here’s the card supplies:
