Hi there
I've been having fun of late with the Balloon Builder and Balloon Celebration stamp sets from the Occasions Catalogue
The first three cards have the same background. This is created by applying ink to a clear block (I used the 'E' block) then stamping the block down onto a Whisper White card front. I used Soft Sky ink for all three. This technique gives a bit of a texture to the card. You can use any sized block to create this look.
Supplies:
Stamp Set - Balloon Builder, Crazy About You
Card Stock - Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Soft Sky, Momento Black
Other - Balloon Bouquet Punch, Basic Black Bakers Twine

I stamped all three insides the same - keeping it simple.

Having the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch makes it quick and easy to create a card (or two) with either stamp set.
