Glittery Birthday Balloons

This card was fun to put together!  Its based on a technique seen on one of Jennifer McGuire's videos - Sparkled Glass Technique.  Luckily, I have so much glitter that I was able to create the glitter background as well.

For the card I used:

  • Heat resistant acetate
  • Sugar Pea Designs - Birthday Balloons
  • Altenew - Birthday Greetings
  • Sookwang Double Sided tape
  • Glitter Ritz - Silver
  • Copic Markers - Red, Green, Blue
  • Gina K Ink - Blue Denim, Lucky Clover, Red Velvet
  • Versamark
  • Stampendous - Detail White Embossing Powder
  • Rectangle dies
To make the card, I cut a piece of acetate to 4.25x5.5.  The balloons were stamped on the acetate with Versamark, embossing powder added and heat set.  On the back side of the embossed acetate, the balloons were colored with Copic markers. The acetate was added to a white frame cut with rectangle dies.  I created the silver glitter background by adding Sookwang tape to a piece of white card stock. The liner sheet was removed, glitter added to the tape and burnished in.  The glitter piece was trimmed to the same size as the frame.  Using foam tape, the acetate piece was attached to the glitter piece, and then the entire piece added to the card base.  The sentiment was stamped using similar colors of ink to the Copic markers, trimmed to size and added to the acetate to complete the card.
