Stamped Distress Ink Background Birthday Card & Blog Hop

Good morning, all!
Today I am taking part in a blog hop featuring the Simon Says Stamp April 2015 Card Kit. :)
I created a fun card using the small balloon stamp in the Big Birthday Wishes stamp set from the kit. I stamped the balloons with Distress Ink and used a waterbrush to spread the ink color and make them transparent. Overlapping the balloons gives it a cool look, right?
The main greeting area is a strip of vellum cardstock that I stamped on and gold embossed one of the greetings from the stamp set. Then it was all assembled onto the card on top of some of that gorgeous gold foil patterned paper.
You can subscribe to receive card kits each month HERE, or pick up the April 2015 Card Kit by itself HERE. You can also buy the stamp set separately, too.
I hope you enjoy today’s card video, too!
