Hi everyone! Staying in out of the heat to stamp these days! So thankful for air conditioning!
When I saw these new HAPPY Balloon dies, I knew I wanted to hang the new Terrific Tricycle die from them.
So ‘happy’ with how this turned out. It’s always a relief when something is blog worthy! lol
I die cut the balloons and trike from watercolor paper and colored with the Zig Clean Color Brush markers and the Zig Water paint brush.
I die cut the trike from black foam so the handlebars would be sturdier for tying on the buttonhole thread. Glued it to the painted trike.
I ink blended a little Tumbled Glass Distress ink on the background of an A2 size white card-base.
I figured out where the balloons would go and then stamped the sentiment from the new Ornamental Butterflies stamp set. I’m really liking the sentiments in this set and I have another card to show soon using the butterflies…pretty.
I mounted the balloons with foam mounting squares… tied on the buttonhole thread…glued the trike on, except for the handlebar area…tied the thread to the handlebars and then glued it down. I did put a teeny bit of glue on top of the knots on the handlebars too.
Hope the card made you smile and remember your trike days! hehe

It’s a good thing a little kid wasn’t riding that tricycle or he would be looking for ET!!
