Balloon Bouquet Wiper Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing another Wiper Card, this one uses the new Happy Birthday Wiper Insert by i-crafter. I made this card last November (!!) so Lynda would have it for the i-crafter launch at Creativation in January. I didn't want to show it on my blog until the die set was available and since it is in the May release I can finally share it!

I added a balloon bouquet to the card front, inking the edges of the balloons and adding white highlights with a gel pen.

Remember you can always see my interactive cards in action HERE, on my YouTube Channel

This card started as a 5 x 5" square card. I made the inside, with the patterned paper layers and the Happy Birthday Wiper Insert. Then I got to work on the balloons and got everything secured inside. At that point I realized the balloons stuck out of the sides when the card was closed - clearly a lack of planning on my part. Not one to just toss a card, I added wider panels to the front and back and was pleased with how it looked!

For the Happy Birthday element I cut the white shadow layer from both white card stock and white fun foam, then adhered the inked Happy Birthday to those layers for a nice thick embellishment.

I specifically chose the colours of this card because they are the i-crafter colours and I wanted it to look good as a booth sample. I was thrilled that Lynda also showed it in the May Release Preview Video this month - it obviously held up well.
