Balloons, Balloons and more Balloons

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

Supplies:
Stamp Set - Balloon Celebration, Crazy About You, Balloon Builder
Card Stock - Bermuda Bay, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink -  Soft Sky, Momento Black, Real Red
Other - Balloon Bouquet Punch, E Clear Block

Supplies:
Stamp Set - Balloon Celebration, Crazy About You, Balloon Builder
Card Stock - Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink -  Soft Sky, Momento Black, Real Red
Other - Balloon Bouquet Punch, E Clear Block

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

And here's a feminine take on the balloons
 
Supplies:
Stamp Set - Balloon Celebration
Card Stock - Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Ink - Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Soft Sky Momento Black
Other - Washi Label Punch, Balloon Bouquet Punch, Dimensionals

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