Hi there! Not sure if you’ve heard the news, but I am honored to join the Neat & Tangled team. Today I’m sharing this project here as well as on the Neat & Tangled blog.
I combined several products to create this fun birthday card. I used Punchinella for the background, Gifts for You for the balloons & sentiment. The “happy” die cut is from Happy Holidays.
I love how the balloons look transparent over the Punchinella stamped background. I rock n’ rolls the balloons to get a bit of darker inking on the bottom and blended ink on the word die cut in matching colors.
The ribbon tails were drawn with my Multiliner pen and the rest is history! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful card Laura!! TFS
Soooo Pretty!!
Never fails … your cards are always awesome 🙂
This is so fun! Love the Punchinella background!
Love the effect of seeing background behind balloons.
Cool.
I love that background–so many possibilities! Cute card.
Congrats on the DT! N&T is lucky to have you on board. Such a clever way to use the Punchinella BG–I always thought of using it as the main attraction but I love how the subtleness packs a punch!

I, too, love how the balloons look transparent over that gorgeous Punchinella background, Laura!
