Pastel Balloon Shaker Let’s Celebrate Card

Place a large circle die slightly overlapping the folded edge of a white 14.5cm-square card blank and cut out. Cut the same die from pink cardstock and attach to the card front. Trim 0.5cm from the lower edge of the card base.

Die-cut a smaller circle from white cardstock. Brush Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry ink over the circle. Overlap each of the colours and blend together where they meet.

Use VersaMark ink to stamp the sentiment at the bottom of the circle and heat-emboss in white.

Lightly spray water over the inked circle, leave to dry then attach to a slightly larger white scalloped circle. Die-cut a balloon from the circle to create an aperture, turn over and attach a circle of acetate to cover the opening.

Attach 3D foam pads around the edge of the aperture, remove the backing and sprinkle sequins inside. Attach a circle of white cardstock, press firmly to secure then turn the panel to the right and adhere to the card blank.

Die-cut a balloon frame from white cardstock, brush with Picked Raspberry ink and adhere around the balloon aperture on the card front. Tie a bow from twine and attach below the balloon aperture to finish.
