Birthday Card | Cut It Up! Challenge #204 - Create Your Own Background


Hi There!

The new theme over on the Cut It Up! Challenge Blog is "Create Your Own Background" and our wonderful sponsor, Nicolle Kramer of Creative Embellishments, is giving a $50 gift code for her on-line shop! Nicolle has an amazing assortment of chipboard embellishments, fantastic stencils and awesome stamp images - check it out here!

My background is a stenciled sky, which was trimmed to fit onto a black slimline card base; a piece of B&W striped paper was added to the bottom. I attached the shaded balloon die cuts (tied with black twine), pulled the strings under my heat embossed sentiment strip and added clear sequins to finish up the card. 

We can't wait to see your backgrounds in the Cut It Up! Gallery and remember...don't forget the die cut!

Additional Challenges:




Thanks so much!
Rachelle

  1. Your sky of clouds is gorgeous! I would say cloudy sky, but that seems to conjure up dreary visions and this is far from that! :) Your festive balloons just pop off that lovely blue sky and the sequins add just that little summer sparkle!
