Celebrating Today....

I love it when a stamp set inspires lots of cards, even when the variations are subtle.  Mr 711/12's had to go to a birthday party yesterday, so I whipped this card up for the birthday boy.

 

 

Quick and easy, but with some technique with the shading of the balloon. I inked in Daffodil Delight, then stamped it off on scrap then onto the cardstock.  I kept reinking and adding more ink each time,  but instead of stamping off, I used a tissue to remove the ink from the stamp.  Here is the shaded result...... with some Night of Navy bunting over the top!!

 

 

Here is the Pumpkin Pie and Black version, with some pearls this time.....

 

Back to Daffodil Delight .....

 

But with some Crushed Curry spots......

 

Daffodil Delight with rhinestones.....

 

Then for something a little different, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Pacific Point....

 

More shading and a little bit of Crystal Effects to add a high light.....

 

and again on the blue.....

 

Then for something completely different.....Soft Sky and Marina Mist.....  I'm imagining this as a baby card......

 

Love those little stars and spots.....
