Bouncing Brayer Technique Meets Balloon Celebration

Hi Everyone,

It's time for Totally Techniques. 

This week's Challenge or Technique is Bouncing Brayer

I've not done this technique before and it was fun trying different ways to do it. I finally decided to do it straight across and in two colors. Hope you like it. 

So here is how this went.....it was sort of hit and miss with colors for me as I'm so monochromatic sometimes. lol 

So to mix it up like this is strange for me .... but in the end ...I kink of like the way this turned out. 

I inked up my brayer with soft Sky and bounced it on the paper going from top to bottom with the Soft Sky. I then decided it needed more color so added So Saffron to finish my blend of Bouncing Brayer. 

I then stamped matching Balloon as I have to be matchie-matchie....right? lol

Didn't look exactly the way I wanted it so I added a green balloon using Wild Wasabi but stamping off first to make the balloon a bit lighter.

The balloons are two-step stamps and I stamped in same colors for each balloon. Love how the little specks show up with the 2nd stamp. 

I stamped the balloons and punched them out using the matching punch that goes with the bundle. How sweet and easy is that. Makes this girl happy!

Did you notice that the colors are a bit muted? Well they are....I wanted the card to be just a bit softer so I added a piece of vellum to it as an overlay. That made me happy :)

...and you know what...the vellum was cut exactly right except it was longer...perfect! I scored the extra piece and folded it over the top with and taped to the back. No tape showing on this card. Yay! Perfect Vellum solution. 

Then I added a bit of tape under the banner on the back side of it to keep it down.

I did the banner in the Wild Wasabi Ink to tie in that little stray balloon so I'm matchie -matchie again.  lol

Finished it off with a little White Bakers Twine and called it a day. 

I hope you like it! I think I'm going to try another as I really did have fun with this. 

Want to see what the rest of the Design Team are up to? I know I do!
