It’s time for another CRAFT Challenge! We would love for you to join us this week in creating something for Grandparents. So, I made a Grandparents card.

and

The prize for this challenge is: The winner of 3 Digi stamps

For this challenge, I got to work with a digital stamp from Sweet ‘n Sassy. The digital stamp is called Rhubarb’s Balloons.

So let’s talk about this card.

Measurements of this Grandparents card

Basic white card stock measuring 30 centimetres by 10,5 centimetres for the base of the card. The card folds at the top, so score on the long side at 15 centimetres.
Red card stock measuring 14,5 centimetres by 10 centimetres
Design paper measuring 14 centimetres by 9,5 centimetres
Some red and white card stock to die-cut from.

Digital stamp

What do you guys think of this digital stamp? Cute right? I coloured him with my alcohol markers.

Balloons: Burgundy (247), Geranium (15), Vermillion (14) and Scarlet (130
Envelope: Blue Grey 1 (BG1) and colourless blender (0)

Die-cutting

I used different die cuts for this card. With the letter die I created the sentiment. With this die you get all the letters from the alphabet.

Finishing the card

For the sentiment I used a clear stamp congratulations and heat embossed that on red card stock. I fussy cut that to put it on the card. The white background needed something so I added some embellishments. I still had this cute hearts laying around.

On top of the balloons I put some paper glaze to give it some shiny effect.

And the card is finished. I hope you like the card and I will see you in this week challenge.
