A warm welcome to this month’s Creation Station Blog Hop.
Here in the UK we are celebrating Mothering Sunday today, so firstly I’d like to wish all you Mum’s out there who celebrate it, a wonderful day. For those of you who will also be celebrating your Birthday, then the Creation Station Design Team will be celebrating with you, with an abundance of Birthday projects and here is mine …
I then repeated the sponging and punched out a single balloon. Although I loved the colours on the balloon, I felt it was a little flat, so covered it entirely with Crystal Effects and added a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to make it stand out a little more and give a little shimmer and shine.
I finished off embellishing with a mixture of Candy Dots, Rhinestones and one of these gorgeous Bow Paper Clips …. I love these and even use them in my planner to help make the pages a little prettier.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed my share with you this month. Hop on over to see what inspiration Denita has in store for you. I feel sure she won’t disappoint.
How FUN is this????? I love the way you did the ribbon!
Mikaela: Your card is simply stunning! The sponged colors on the cut-out lettering and the balloon are gorgeous. And adding the dazzling diamonds to the balloon was pure genius!! I think this is the best use of the bow paper clips that I've seen. So cute!!!
Thank you Jen … I saw it done by a fellow UK Demo, Lea Denton and loved the effect. It's perfect coupled with the balloons like this x
Oh WOW …. Thank you. I had created a similar card with darker colours sponged, but wanted something that would work better with the ribbon, so toned it down a little. It's a beautiful soft palette and yes, I guess hubby is right, the photo's don't really do it justice. I do love Dazzling Diamonds … when it doesn't fall off everywhere 😉 x
Oh my gosh, Mikaela!! I just love your card!!! It is really pretty and very fun! I really love the way you added the glitter ribbon!! What a perfect touch with the glittery balloon!! So much fun!
Your card is simply divine, Mikaela! The shredded Pool Party Glitter Ribbon is so gorgeous with the bow paper clip. D x
Oh bless you Dena, Thank you. A UK Demo called Lea Denton has a video out there showing how to produce the glitter ribbon tassel, it's a fiddly, but great addition to projects x
Thank you so much Denita. Aren't those Bow Clips just gorgeous?! x
Gorgeous!!! I love your balloon, the paper clip and frayed ribbon was genius!
I can see some glimmer on your balloon. I'm sure it's awesome. I really liked it and your word happy. And then to put them n a completely white background? Great idea. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Gloria, Yes, I covered the balloon in Crystal Effects and then a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and allowed to dry. These photo's don't show it off to it's best really. Thank you for your lovely comments and for taking the time to leave this lovely message. I'm pleased that you like my share xx
What a lovely card Mikaela! Like the different card shape and the different shading for the happy, but the dazzling diamonds on the balloon is so pretty! Great idea!
awww thank you so much Holly. I'm so pleased that you liked it so much. Those Dazzling Diamonds really are even prettier in real life … you really have to try it to see for yourself xx
