BIRTHDAY CARD DETAILS
To begin, I stamped balloon images in Simon’s Maliblue and Audrey Blue ink on Sea Glass cardstock. Some of the Maliblue balloons were double stamped to make them appear a tiny bit darker. I overlapped many of the images to have the look of a wall of balloons floating in the air.
Using a white pen I added highlights to the balloons to help them look a bit more dimensional. Next, I applied Gold Glitter paste using Simon’s Confetti stencil and lastly stamped a partial sentiment (skipping the “You Rock” part) in black ink.
Once everything was dry I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5 1/4″ and foam mounted it on A2 white card base. Super easy, right?
MORE INSPIRATION
A few days back I shared a set of Punny Birthday cards featuring same stamp set and a cool background technique using ink pads. Give it a look!

Your masculine birthday card is awesome, Yana! I love the different shades of blue that give the card such depth. And, that gold confetti is the best! I’m adding that confetti stencil to my “must have” list!
Such a lovey card. Love the confetti.
I am always excited to come visit your blog. I am never disappointed and I come away with sooo much inspiration. Your blog is my happy place. I really like gold of the confetti, and the big bold stamp set sayings. PS your partial die cut card that you can open is ingenuous! Although, technically I think its from another post but I saw a glimpse of it in the background.
This new release from SSS has the most wonderfully eye-catching greetings and they look positively sensational on your cards!!!
Masculine cards are always the hardest for me to create. Thanks for the inspiration!
