There’s no way that people would guess I only used one ink colour for the whole background! Let me tell you how I did it so you too, can make the most of your inks.

1. Ink blend over the new Candy Swirl stencil in Glitz using a domed foam applicator to really pack that colour in. We want it strong and fully covered.
2. Remove the stencil and *gently* go over the whole thing to take down some of that stark whiteness for a softer, tone on tone look. (I didn’t reink the foam, just used what ink was left on there.)
3. Die cut with the largest Showtime Frames dies for extra detail around the edges!
4. Use patterned paper (Greatest Show 6×6) for the shadow piece of your sentiment and stack up 2 layers of white and then a fun mirrored on top for the words themselves.
5. Create fun age-specific balloons using the new Party Numbers die set; cut from white cardstock and coloured quickly with ink. Add detail & highlights with white gel pen.
6. Pop up the sentiment and balloons with foam adhesive and embellish with sequins from both the Cloud 9 & Ring Master Sparkle mixes.

Please be aware:

As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.

Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
