celebrate...

Hey friends!!   Stopping in with another post... twice in one day... Yikes!!   I made this card for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge, as well as ColourQ.  Freshly Made Sketches is celebrating there 200th sketch challenge and they have lots of prizes up for grabs.   When I saw the sketch a couple of ideas came to mind and one in particular that I just had to make.  Since this is a celebration of their 200th sketch I decided to create a card using that word and balloons.   I used the "camouflage" diecutting technique, but instead of stamping I used die cuts.  I was going to try the double die cutting technique (think that is what it is called), but I got frustrated trying to find a video for it and gave up.  Anywhoo... for my card I die cut the speech bubble border (from Lawn Fawn) from white cardstock and the balloons (from A Jillian Vance Design) from three of the ColourQ colors.  The balloons were adhered to the white cardstock piece and then the word "celebrate" (from A Jillian Vance Design) was die cut from that piece.  Two additional words were die cut from white cardstock and stacked in the negative place with the original one placed on top.  Another speech bubble border was die cut from grey cardstock and then adhered behind the first one slightly offset.  Initially I didn't have strings on the balloons, but after looking at it for a bit decided to add them using a black Micron pen.  Not a lick of stamping on this card, lol!
