This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is to 'just add H'. This corresponded with an experimental period with my new set from the Holiday Catalogue, Sip, Sip Hooray. You can buy the stamp set alone or as a bundle with the matching dies. I love that one of the dies lets you cut out a bubble effect.
So I'm adding some HOORAYS! in this birthday card.
I wanted to create a sense of fun and celebration for this card so as well as having the glasses and 'hoorays' askew, I worked up a bright, bubbly background for them.
The background involved some sponging, some spritzing, some stamping, some die-cutting and some embossing and I like how it turned out: like a good dose of summery fun.

Love that background Jan - it is just fizzing with bubbles and colour and is so perfect with your glasses and hoorays! I just got this set too, but not yet inked up - so I will be watching your experimental period with interest!
ReplyDeleteI kicked myself when I saw this set in the seasonal catty as I had just bought a 'drinks' stamp set which was quite small. This one is just the right size and I love all the fun elements. Your background is gorgeous Jan - the touches of gold add a real celebratory feel. I don't know what's in those glasses but it looks delicious and inviting! Vicky x
