Birthday Balloons - Sheepski Designs freebie for Kit & Clowder 20K celebration, Prismacolor on kraft


Kit & Clowder is celebrating having reached 20,000 members of the Facebook group!! Joining in celebration, Sheepski Designs is offering a freebie! Andrea created Liz with balloons to join in the celebration.

For my inspiration card, I made Liz into a birthday card. I used Prismacolor pencils on kraft and embellished with a die cut from Simon Says Stamp. Inside I used a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co and balloons from a Kraftin' Kimmie set.

Putting It Together

I had been having printer problems so I wasn't sure I was going to be making anything with this image. To test some maintenance on my printer, I printed on a kraft paper of which I have quite a bit. Then, on a whim, I decided to do some colouring on the kraft. 


I used Prismacolor pencils and kept track of all the colours I used. Sheesh, quite the list! I had only intended to do part of the colouring on Sunday night but was enjoying myself so much I finished it.


I trimmed the panel and added some white Uniball to the eyes and Wink of Stella to the balloons for a subtle sparkle.


I did a dry layout with a white card base and a die.


I used the die to cut black and gold glitter cardstock. I used the Xyron to add adhesive to the die cuts.


Leaving the black on the backing, I layered the gold over with a slight offset for a shadow.


I put the die cut on the image panel and trimmed the edges before adhering the image to the card base.


Inside, I used a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co and a balloon from a Kraftin' Kimmie set.
