Heart Balloon Marci

Hi everyone, time for me to show you another GDT card for Inspiration Monday at La La Land Crafts, and this week we're bringing you the theme of Happy Birthday.


I've coloured Heart Balloon Marci with Distress Reinkers. I decided on this colour scheme, which is so far away from what I'm used to, but when I went to make the card I could not find any paper to go with it (lesson to be learnt here methinks). I managed to find these scraps, and I was so pleased as they go perfectly.


I've distressed the edges with a distress tool, and machine sewn them using the topstitch thread from The Ribbon Girl, the gorgeous ruffle ribbon is also from there. I was contemplating not putting any flowers on, but that thought soon passed and I settled for a few roses from Wild Orchid Craft.


Pop over to La La Land Crafts blog, you will be amazed at the work there, and remember to pop back on Friday when there is another set of cards for you to see.

Hugs,
