Welcome, welcome. Today we have another blog hop for the Stamp Review Crew. We are a group of International Stampin' Up! demonstrators showcasing one stamp set at a time, every first and third Monday's of the month. This time using the stamp set Balloon Celebration from the Occassions Catalogue. This is a fun set incorperating not only balloons as the title of the stamp suggests but some fun sentiments as well. I'm the first on the hop and I'm sure as you click along the links you will see all the fabulousness of this set.
I've done some stamping, embossing and sponging for my card today for something bright and fun.
I've heat embossed on of the images with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Vellum. I wanted to give the balloons that see through look that you normally get with balloons in real life. So after I emboss the spotty image I sponged the ink on to the vellum so that the ink fully covered the paper when I punched it out.
I've kept my card fairly basic today and let that colour pop right of the Kraft Cardstock.

Its all finished of with some of the cloud images,the stars outlines, some Silver Metallic Thread and the 1/8" Silver Ribbon. I stamped off the clouds once first because I wanted a lighter saturation to the Whisper White Craft ink to make them look like fluffy clouds.
I hope that I've given you some inspiration to using the Balloon Celebration stamp set. On of the fabulous things about this set is that it has a matching punch - Balloon Bouquet Pnch and the stamp set and the punch are one of the 15% off Bundle and Save bundles. Winning! You can't go wrong with that!
