Hey Crafty People!
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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- Die cut with the largest Showtime Frames dies for extra detail around the edges!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
