Making Balloons From Trees

  

Here are some samples from last months shows for Chocolate Baroque. Well I had fun making this card, I started with a strip of card and using four colours in Versafine Clair I stamped up the Word Strip 2 Birthday, to create the balloons I used the stamp set From Nature 2, I took the smallest leaf and stampede it in each of the colours above the stamp strip.  Using gel pens in the same colour I drew a triangle on the base of the leaf to turn it into a balloon.  I then did a squiggly line for string, to finish I did polka dots all over the card to look like confetti.

To create this card I started with a Gel Plate, using a brayer I put some ink down on the plate.  Then splashed with Brusho's and pressed it down on my base card.  I took the Tree Of Knowledge stamp and stamped it into the middle of the circle, I coloured it and then using a red glaze pen coloured some apples on to it.  

Thank you for looking

Happy crafting
