Hello! We have a new challenge starting today at QKR Stampede. This is Challenge #139 “Balloons”. All you have to do is share a card or other project incorporating balloons somehow. I used digi9603 Birthday Bear. Adorable enough for baby’s first birthday, which is exactly what I think of when I look at this.
I colored with Copic markers to match the designer paper and ribbon. The doily is actually created with a Darice embossing folder called Oblong Doily. I cut it out after embossing to make it look even more like a real doily.
I hope you can join us this week in Challenge #139 “Balloons”. You could win two or three QKR Stampede digis of your own! Have a great weekend!
Stamps: QKR digi9603 Birthday Bear Paper: X-Press It Blending Card (image), Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (card and doily), Wild Rose Studio Bella designer paper Ink: Printer, various Copic markers for coloring Accessories: Offray ribbon, Darice Oblong Doily embossing folder, Scotch brand foam mounting tape (to pop up image)
Oh my is that ever adorable, I love the present background and the great idea with the doily embossing folder, I purchased a rectangle one not to long ago and would love to try that with it.... now if I can just remember, LOL! Very sweet card!

I don't think I have ever seen this digi done as well by anyone (including me!). LOVE this! And using the embossing folder for the lace background was brilliant! He is adorable!

Such a sweet and adorable image. I would of never thought the doily was cut from an embossed image, I thought it was a die cut - you are so clever. A perfect first birthday card!

How cute! Love the soft colors, and that embossed doily is fab! When I first looked at it I wondered where I would find oval doilies like that one. Hard to believe it's just embossed. Very pretty.
