Hi Lovelies...
For my card today, I've used this gorgeous set from Waffle Flower called Balloon Cluster - it includes a die set and a stencil. I decided to cut the balloons first, then stencil as I found this worked best for me.
For my first card, I wanted to use pastel colours from my Distress Oxides.. I think I managed that! I just used blending brushes, keeping the side away from the light slightly darker. After the colouring, I popped the second stencil that has the light reflection patch in place, and used sparkly embossing paste through it. Then I used an embossing tool to shape the balloons, before adhering them to my panel with foam pads. Lastly, I added a sentiment which I heat embossed with silver embossing powder

My second card is very similar, I just wanted to use more bold colours on the red background. I'm sorry, but I didn't note the Distress Oxide colours!
