Birthday Jolinne



Hi all and happy Sunday! I made this card for my niece, who will be turning six in a couple weeks. Isn't this Birthday Balloon Jolinne stamp the sweetest? She's available at Stamper's Dream along with a bunch of the newest releases from My Favorite Things, including the adorable Pure Innocence line. Love her little face and the way she's sitting *criss-cross applesauce*....as my 5-year-old would say, lol!

The Jolinne image includes the three balloons you see on the left. Since my niece is turning six, I stamped three more to make a total of six. They're all stamped on some new My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary Papers (Mary Mary and Little Boy Blue). The angled panel is up on foam tape and so are the three balloons on the right. Before gluing them down, I ran some green waxed linen thread behind them and secured them to the card with a small strip of Scor Tape and a green brad. I also added some Baby Blue Stickles to her necklace to look like my niece's aquamarine birthstone. The sentiment and the largest panel sitting on the card base are also up on foam tape.

Have a GREAT day and thanks so much for stopping by!
