Balloons

 

         We have had thunderstorm after thunderstorm, and it has played havoc with my two brain disorders so I’ve been under attack for a few days. Tomorrow is supposed to be the only day without rain or a storm and then back to a week of thunderstorms….aaagghhh.

         Luckily, I have a few cards made and photographed on hand because I’m not very creative when the trigeminal neuralgia flares up…which we call ‘under attack’. One of our grandsons is turning 14 this month so this is the card he is getting.

                                

I like making masculine cards but teenage boys are difficult….and I don’t have many stamps for that group. However, I do have this huge balloon background stamp and decided it would work for Seth. It was stamped in black ink and then each balloon was painted with metallic water colour paint – which is shiny in real life but the camera couldn’t pick it up. Once it was dry it was trimmed down, mounted on black cardstock and then onto a black card base. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and then white embossing powder and heat set. I decided to attach it on an angle just for some interest.

         That’s all for a rainy week on Friday, July 9, 2021.

Cheers
