The inspiration for these cards came from the archives of Kelly Taylor's videos - Layering Balloon Stencil 5 Ways: Birthday Parties. Knowing I had these stencils in my stash I dug them out and set out to ink blend a few panels. I wanted to try a couple of the ideas I saw in her videos.
For this version of the die-cut inlay, I left the balloon panel as an A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches), to fill the full card front, and cut only the sentiment. For the reverse card, I used my go-to stitched rectangles to create the black panel.
All of these cards were mounted on white card bases and kept clean and simple. I felt the balloons were bold enough to carry the cards on their own, with no need for additional embellishments.
