93 to go….

Three cards, six red balloons down…

Today I set myself a challenge to use this one set of stamps only, and tossed in a limited colour palette for good measure. I often try to use just the one set, but as these only have a single image (the balloon) and everything else is a sentiment it required a little thought. Five minutes of cold hard staring pass, then, ping, lightbulb moment. I can use the balloon to be the dot on the ‘i’ of ‘wishes’. Super.AN birthday balloons red trio

So, three cards followed. I allowed myself to use the die for the balloon (no point in trying to fussy cut if you have the tool), and my own polka dot background fits in with the red, black and white colour scheme.

For the simplest two the stamping and die cut are exactly the same, just on a different sized cards. The other has a little bit more going on, and the balloons now a bouncy air-filled border, but all were super-quick, again!

Seems I am still in minimalist territory!

      1. Sheer poetry. D’you think it should be in the German constitution that the Chancellor has to say those words if they decide to hit the ‘red button’?

    1. Thank you so much. I was not sure if they needed a bit more added? On another day I might have done that, but definitely less is more for me today!

    1. I totally agree! I love balloons, but something about tying the string around the knot makes me a bit queasy!
