Bellissima balloon birthday card

Happy Sunday everyone. This week I was asked to make a 40th Birthday card with an air balloon theme, so I turned to the gorgeous Docrafts Bellissima range to create this simple but pretty card.

I chose the blue dotty paper from the 6x6 paper pack for my background and cut strips from 2 other papers. I love the big dreams sentiment on the second strip so made sure that was showing. 

Next I added the Balloon decoupage from a small decoupage kit to the left of the strip, using Pinflair glue to add the layers.

I fussy cut the balloons from a paper in the pack and added them to the card. Finally I stamped a simple Crafter's Companion sentiment using Momento Sweet Plum ink.

Thanks for popping by today. I really appreciate all your comments xxx

Bellissima birthday card

This card has been made using Docrafts Bellissima range. I love the way this collection has a modern feel, yet combines well with vintage elements such as lace trim and, my current favourite item, Dovecraft doilies.

To make this card I simply took a decorated card blank and layered it with a sheet of 6x6 paper (at a jaunty angle). I added lace trim, a ribbon and doilie before making up and fixing the centre decoupage sentiment. All edges, including the doilie, have been distressed using distress ink to add depth. The finishing touch is some punched butterflies and gemstones.
