Happy 7th Birthday Uniko

Good morning, hope you are well.
It's an exciting time over at Uniko as we celebrate our 7th birthday this month!
Here's my card and what says celebrate more than balloons?


It's a wobbly balloon on a confetti embossed background. It uses a bobbler die cut using a die from Stampendous that I picked up at Port Sunlight in the bargain box a few years ago and hadn't used but rediscovered whist tidying my stash over Christmas.

Here's a close up of the die cut 


and here it is behind my balloon


To start, I fixed a panel of white card under the Party Confetti Stencil and inked through with a small Versamark pad, removed the stencil carefully and added some white EP, which I then heat embossed. Setting to one side, I then took a balloon die and cut one in some pink Bazzil card and inked around the edges with some Picked Raspberry DI. Placing the outer of the die cut in my MISTI, I replaced the balloon die cut and stamped the sentiment from the Wonderful Day stamp set in black Memento, heat embossing it in clear gloss EP. I put the die cut back into the negative space so that it was easier to stamp squarely. Before removing the panel, I added a flash of white gel pen using the Balloon Bash stencil as a guide.

To cut the tail for the balloon, I used a wavy strip die, cutting twice close together, then affixing it behind the balloon and adding a tiny extra bit for the tie at the bottom. The bobbler die cut was adhered to the back of the balloon and my trimmed embossed panel was added to a white A6 base card.  The other end of my bobbler was glued to the embossed panel, trimming the tail to fit. A few clear sequins were added over some of the dots on the embossed panel to complete.

OK we've got a balloon but what's a birthday celebration without a PARTY?
