Birthday Embossing Resist Sketch Card

Created this Birthday card using a Sketch
from Victorine Original Stamps and
Embossing Resist technique from Perfect
Sentiments. I have been stepping out of my
comfort zone and learning more.

Decided to go with a Balloon Birthday theme.

Made Base 5" x 7". Layered with Birthday
Balloons paper. Cut the circle out of white
cardstock using Spellbinders die. Stamped
balloons onto white cardstock circle using
VersaMark embossing ink. Sprinkled with
embossing powder & heated. Used Distress
Ink to stamp color onto white cardstock.
Wiped off the balloon stamped image with
a paper towel. Stamped birthday sentiment.
Assembling card per the sketch using
vellum paper, circle & tag sentiment.
