Birthday balloons


 
After some weeks of Christmas projects I thought I'd show a fairly maschuline birthday card using a combination of Triplits Die Set 10PK - Balloons and Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards.
 
 
 
I think balloons are some of the most instantly happy things - you cannot think of balloons without thinking of birthdays, parties and happy smiling faces. So hopefully the recipient of this card will smile as well.
 
 
In order to tone down the busy patterned paper under my main focus I added some vellum behind the frame. This gave me a ground to build on.
 
 
I used another of the dies from the Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards to add a second "happy" to my frame - you can never have too many happies afterall.

Efter et par uger, hvor jeg har vist juleprojekter, besluttede jeg mig i denne uge for at lave et relativt maskulint fødselsdagskort, hvor jeg kombinerede Triplits Die Set 10PK - Balloons og Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards.

Jeg synes, at balloner er noget af det mest festlige: Man kommer umiddelbart til at tænke på fødselsdage, fest og glade, smilende mennesker. Så nu håber jeg, at modtageren af dette kort kommer til at smile, når han får kortet.

Jeg brugte lidt vellum til at nedtone det travle mønstrede papir, hvilket giver mig en lidt mere rolig baggrund til min lille ballon-scene.

For at understrege glæden udstansede jeg endnu et "happy", som jeg monterede over det "happy", der er en del af rammen.
