I started by taping down my Confetti Stencil by Stampendous

onto a die from Tonic 'Grand Gala Bunting'.

If you tape the top down first, then the sides, and bottom last,

and then once stencil remove them in the same order,

except leave the top tape, then lift the stencil from the bottom up

like a hinge, it makes for a perfect stenciling.

I used Dreamweaver Regular White embossing paste.

I wanted to add a bit of glitter sparkle,

so I had my jars of glitter already opened and ready to go

along with the Nuvo Craft Spoon.

The embossing paste dries very quickly, so you must work very quickly.

The glitters I used were Daisy, Marine Blue and Tangerine.

I applied these in little amounts using the Nuvo Craft Spoon. 

This spoon has 2 different ends, making it easy to use and easy to control

where you want your glitter.

The new stamp set Balloon Bunch was stamped on white card stock.

I stamped it a second time, then cut each balloon out separate using the Tonic 5" Mini Scissors..

Each separate piece was then then applied with  Brushable Glue and 

Tangerine glitter and Marine Blue Glitter and

embossed with embossing powders 

Polka Dot, Super Thick Silver and Magic Speckle.

Each finished balloon was then adhered with Deluxe Adhesive.

I then went back and using glitter pens form the sets

Northern Lights, Ember Glow, and Midnight Shadows,

I went over each little stamped image around the balloons.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark embossing ink, 

then embossed with Cerulean embossing powder.

I finished the card by using a blue card stock for the back

and tying a piece of hemp cord for the bow.
