Welcome to an exciting post to announce the launch of some fab stamp sets over at Happy Little Stampers!
We have 6 new sets to introduce to you and we think you are going to love them.
Here is my card using the balloons from the Simply Said set, plus the Happy Birthday from last years Everyday Sentiments.
Once I'd decided on the layout on a scrap of paper, I stamped the balloons in an appropriate colour of Memento ink, masking where necessary, then coloured each balloon with Copics. I must admit I wiped most of the ink off the balloon tail so that I could go in later to add a longer one with a black fine liner.
I stamped the Happy Birthday from Everyday Sentiments in Versafine Onyx Black and then cut the 'to you' off the 'to you both' before stamping underneath. When I want to use the stamp as is, it will fit back together again, so no worries! The finished panel was diecut with a MFT stitched rectangle before being mounted flat on a A6 white base card. :)
Here is a closer look at each of the individual sets -
