Stenciled Balloons and Cute Critters

Celebrate any occasion with these cute cards!

My first step in creating these cards was to create several balloon stenciled backgrounds using the Bunch of Balloons stencil set from Concord & 9th.  I taped off the edges of my cardstock panels and stenciled in the center with the balloon stencils.  Once I was finished, I removed the low tac tape. This gave me a wide, white border around my balloons.

I then stamped and colored the images from the Up With Love stamp set from Mama Elephant.  After coloring the images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.  I cut extra pieces with white cardstock and stacked them behind the colored images.  I love the dimension this gives and I prefer it over using foam tape.

Next, I cut and layered several sentiments.  Then I was ready to assemble the cards. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you were inspired to create something.
