Happy Birthday Balloons CCMC336

Lovely "hot" colours to play with at Create With Connie & Mary Challenge#336, and the link is here so you can pop on over and get inspired to pull out your paper and ink too! I'm having a wonderful time hiding in my craft space, away from the heat and working my way through a box of yummy new products from Stampin' Up! The temperature is currently 39°C or 102°F!!!

The Balloon Framelits dies were first to go on my list after the  Occasions Catalogue launch, but I haven't really displayed them at their best here. Then there are so many different stamps in Celebrate Today, the stamp set the Balloon Framelits co-ordinate with, that it's quite hard to make a decision. I've added Real Red spots to the Calypso Coral balloon and a patterned banner in black to the red balloon.

The Hello You Thinlets are gorgeous, four words incuded are happy, you, thanks and hello. I've used happy quite a lot this week, and just started using hello, which was a little more difficult to ease out of the die. Now I've been out and bought dryer sheets and used baking paper in the 'sandwich (couldn't find the recommended wax paper). You need a silicone sheet and Two-way glue pen to get these adhered properly. Hello You Thinlets are bundled with Crazy About You, a stamp set available in wood-mount, clear-mount and photopolymer. I used the birthday sentiment from that stamp set, and it is one of thirty sentiments.


Just these two stamp sets and the matching dies are going to keep me creating for ages.
The DSP is from a paper stack in the Occasions Catalogue called Stacked With Love. They're lovely papers in shades of Calypso Coral, Real Red, Crisp Cantaloupe and black on one side, the reverse are all black and white. Those are the colours for the colour challenge so I'm submitting my effort.

Take care, have fun,

Rachel
